Spring Wuyi Golden Jin Jun Mei - Horse Eyebrow
Black Tea
Golden Jin Jun Mei is foraged and wild picked up in the mountains of the officially designated protected Fujian Wuyishan National Nature Reserve (福建武夷山国家级自然保护区). Wild Golden Jin Jun Mei is picked one bud at a time, entirely by hand, and entirely by native residents living within the reserve. The tea plants are wildly propagated by seed, and are left untended. One kilogram of fresh leaf takes twelve to fourteen thousand individual buds, each picked entirely by hand.
The aroma of the tea in a Jingdezhen porcelain gaiwan was full of longan and grape high notes. The first sips are shockingly thick. The mossy flavor of old tree Wuyi teas that comes through before shifting to a sweet buttercream cake aftertaste. As the tea continues steeping, the crisp sweetness of Wuyi minerality dominates with honey and light melon notes on the tongue.
