Chinese Black Tea · Premium Jin Jun Mei 500g

This "Premium Jin Jun Mei" is made exclusively from pure first spring buds picked after three consecutive sunny days following the Spring Equinox in 2025, from small-leaf cultivar tea bushes grown at an altitude of 1200-1400 meters in Tongmuguan, with most tea trees over 80 years old. The significant temperature difference between day and night on these high mountains, combined with ample diffused light, results in a high amino acid content of up to 4.1% (GB/T 8314) in the buds, with a tea polyphenol to amino acid ratio of approximately 6.8, laying the foundation for a fresh, non-astringent flavor. Processed entirely through 8 hours of natural indoor withering, followed by light rolling, 90 minutes of temperature-controlled fermentation (28°C), and finished with gentle full drying, this method maximally preserves floral volatile compounds such as linalool and geraniol (linalool content detected at 1.31 mg/g by GC-MS). Dry tea appears with a three-yellow to seven-black ratio, densely covered in golden tips. The liquor is golden yellow and bright, containing 1.18% theaflavins and 9.6% thearubigins (GB/T 30483), forming a distinct golden ring. Upon sipping, orchid aroma and honey sweetness intertwine; mid-palate reveals ripe fruit notes, followed by a long-lasting sugary sweetness reminiscent of rock candy in the aftertaste. It can be steeped for over 10 infusions while still retaining sweetness. Caffeine level is 27 mg/200 ml, offering a gentle stimulating effect; 45% water extractives, indicating high durability. Approximately 72,000 tender buds are needed for every 100 grams of finished tea; although the price per 100g is relatively high, it actually costs less than 1 US dollar per serving to experience authentic high-mountain spring freshness from Tongmuguan. Certified by both SC and SGS with zero pesticide residue and traceable origin; double-sealed in foil bag and tin canister, maintaining aroma for 24 months under normal temperature and away from light. If you wish to enjoy a cup of top-grade black tea with "floral aroma + honey韵味 + sweet aftertaste" anytime during your busy day, this can of Premium Jin Jun Mei is an unquestionable choice.
