Known as "Golden Eyebrow," this tea is celebrated as the pinnacle of Wuyi Mountain black tea craftsmanship.

Jin Jun Mei - Golden Eyebrow

Jin Jun Mei (金骏眉 - Golden Eyebrow) is a relatively modern black tea created in 2005, yet it has quickly become one of China's most sought-after and expensive teas. Originating from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian Province, the birthplace of black tea, Jin Jun Mei is crafted exclusively from tender golden buds picked from wild tea trees growing at high elevations. The name "Golden Eyebrow" refers to the tea's distinctive appearance - the golden-tipped buds resemble delicate eyebrows, and the finished tea displays beautiful golden and black colors.

2025 Fresh Spring Harvest

This tea represents the 2025 fresh spring harvest, captured during the brief early spring window when only the most tender golden buds are picked. Each kilogram of Jin Jun Mei requires approximately 50,000-60,000 individual buds, making it an extraordinarily labor-intensive and precious tea.

Exclusively Golden Buds

Jin Jun Mei is crafted exclusively from tender golden buds (no leaves), picked from wild tea trees in the high mountains of Wuyi. This exclusive use of pure buds creates the tea's distinctive sweet, smooth character and luxurious golden appearance.

Distinctive Flavor Profile

The flavor profile is honeyed, malty, fruity, and velvety, delivering a complex and sophisticated taste experience. The tea offers natural honey sweetness, rich malty depth, subtle fruity notes (often described as longan or dried fruit), and an exceptionally smooth, velvety mouthfeel. The tea is naturally sweet with no bitterness or astringency, creating a refined and luxurious drinking experience.

Beautiful Appearance

The dry tea displays a stunning mix of golden and black colors, with the golden tips prominently visible. When brewed, the liquor is bright golden-amber with exceptional clarity, and the spent buds reveal their tender, uniform quality.

Health Benefits

Jin Jun Mei black tea offers comprehensive wellness support with rich antioxidant content. The tea is energy-boosting and invigorating without jitters, supports cardiovascular health, provides warming and comforting effects, aids digestion, and promotes mental clarity and focus. The high-quality buds contain concentrated beneficial compounds.
