Jin Jun Mei is a celebrated black tea from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian Province, China developed in 2006.[1] It is made exclusively from the buds plucked in early spring from the tea plant. The buds are subsequently fully oxidised and then roasted to yield a tea that has a sweet, fruity and flowery flavour with a long lasting sweet after-taste.[1] The brew is bright reddish in colour.
In China, this variety of tea is viewed as one of the most prestigious of all teas. Its price varies depending on the quality, ranging from US$1 to US$25 per gram (US$30 to US$700 per ounce).
