Jin Jun Mei Tea

Jin Jun Mei (金骏眉) — meaning "Golden Eyebrow" — is one of China's most prestigious and celebrated red teas, originating from the misty Wuyi Mountains of Fujian Province at 1200–1500 metres altitude. First created in 2005 by tea master Jiang Yuanxun, it represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship in Chinese black tea — made entirely from young early spring buds, each picked by hand.
