Jin Jun Mei Black Tea

Jin Jun Mei Black tea is the highest grade of Lapsang Souchong. It is known as eyebrow tea because the processed tea leaf resembles an eyebrow. Jin Jun Mei tea is harvest early spring before the Qing Ming festival. Similar to Puerh, Jin Jun Mei tea is hot and getting more and more popular now.

Taste:
Smokey hint as any good Lapsang should be, yet the taste has distinct fruity sweet notes underneath the smoky nature of the tea. Lovely fruity honey sweetness lingers in your mouth.

Wuyi Shan, Fujian Province

Harvest Period:
Spring - Pre Qing Ming

Brewing Guide:
We recommend using purple clay or porcelain tea ware. Rinse tea cup and teapot with hot water. Use about 2 grams of tea leaves (1-2 teaspoons) for every 225 ml of water. Steep tea leaves in hot water at 100°c (212°F) for 1 minute for the first and second brewing. Gradually increase steeping time and water temperature for subsequent brewing. If you like milk with your tea, add 10 to 15 ml of sweetened/plain dairy milk and stir.
