Pure Gold Tips expertly processed to enhance and preserve the hairy fuzz on these tiny little buds. 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. The taste of the tea is malty, with hints of caramelized sugar and smoke. There is a viscous thickness to the tea soup and a sweetness, both of which linger in the mouth and throat after drinking. We recommend using 85-90C water to brew this delicate and special Jin Jun Mei. Mid-April Harvest Tong Mu Guan Village (Fujian)
