Premium Jin Jun Mei (Golden Eyebrow) Black Tea – A Rare Chinese Masterpiece
Overview
Discover the refined elegance of Jin Jun Mei, also known as Golden Eyebrow, one of China’s most prestigious black teas. Grown high in the misty mountains of Fujian Province’s Wuyi region, this hand-crafted tea is made exclusively from the early spring buds of wild tea trees, delivering a luxurious experience of flavor, aroma, and culture. Revered for its natural sweetness, layered complexity, and golden-tipped appearance, Jin Jun Mei is an artisan black tea that appeals to connoisseurs and newcomers alike.
What Makes It So Special?
Unlike standard black teas, Jin Jun Mei is harvested using only the most delicate buds picked in early spring, then carefully oxidized and roasted using centuries-old techniques. Its golden tips resemble fine eyebrow hairs, hence the name. The result is a sweet, smooth, malty brew with floral undertones, hints of honey, and a lingering caramel finish.

This is truly a beautiful tea. It’s very smooth with slight naturally sweet and floral undertones. I was able to re-infuse the buds several times without loss of flavour, and in fact, the flavour seemed to change and become a wonderful new experience with each cup.

This is really something special. The flavour is quite complex and reminds me of drinking a really good fermented coffee with respect to its interest and intricacy. It also tastes great after multiple steepings, and the smell of the leaves after brewing is lovely. This tea is a real treat!
