This is a competition grade Jin Jun Mei made from pure buds. The processing of this tea is done in several stages to gradually coax out the chocolate and honey sweetness. The tea has body, strong aroma, and is bursting with flavor! Tong Mu Guan Village near Wu Yi in Fujian is the most famous place in China for the cultivation of Jin Jun Mei and this year's harvest (April) is among the best in recent memory. We recommend using 85-90C water and short steeps at first to brew this delicate and special Jin Jun Mei. Late March Harvest Tong Mu Guan Village (Fujian)
