Jin Jun Mei Black Tea (Camellia Sinensis)

Jin Jun Mei Black Tea (Camellia sinensis) is one of the most prestigious black teas of China, originating from the high mountains of Wuyi in Fujian Province. Handpicked from the tender young buds of early spring tea plants, this rare tea is crafted through an intricate process of withering, rolling, oxidation, and slow charcoal baking, resulting in a tea with an exceptionally rich aroma, deep sweetness, and refined complexity. Known as one of the five legendary Wuyi teas, Jin Jun Mei is treasured for embodying the pure essence of high-mountain terroir.

Its flavor profile is unmistakable: a golden amber liquor with notes of honey, cocoa, orchid, sweet potato, mountain flowers, and a lingering caramel finish. The tiny buds produce a tea that is smooth, layered, and naturally sweet, with none of the harshness often found in lower-grade black teas. The result is a cup that is comforting, uplifting, and deeply aromatic, making it a favorite among connoisseurs seeking a luxurious daily tea or a special ceremonial brew.

In traditional Chinese tea culture, Jin Jun Mei is regarded as a warming, qi-supportive, and spirit-refreshing tea, ideal for promoting mental clarity, digestive comfort, and relaxed focus. Its gentle warmth supports the Spleen and Stomach, while its fragrance helps disperse stagnation and lift the mood.

Modern analysis shows that high-quality black teas like Jin Jun Mei contain abundant theaflavins, thearubigins, amino acids, polyphenols, and trace minerals, contributing to antioxidant protection, metabolic support, circulatory benefits, and sustained energy without jitteriness. The slow charcoal finishing process enhances aromatic esters that support calm yet alert mental states.

Each batch of Jin Jun Mei Black Tea (Camellia sinensis) is handpicked and hand crafted, using only the smallest spring buds, which dry into thin, golden-tipped strands. When brewed, it yields a clear golden-red infusion that is sweet, aromatic, velvety, and complex, embodying the pinnacle of Chinese black tea craftsmanship.
