“Gong Fu Sipdown (606)! Finished off this (unsmoked) Lapsang Souchong last weekend – it was pretty damn tasty. As always, I do wish I had a slightly better recollection of the flavour evolution...” Read full tasting note
Golden Eyebrow Lapsang Souchong, in Chinese, it is called “Jinjunmei”, which is made of tea bud tips
Super strict picking standard is set up for this tea, which must be picked before Tomb-sweeping Day from a rare and primitive specie of wild tea which grows on mountains in the National Natural Conservation Area of Wuyi Mountain, with an attitude of 1500 to 1800 meters. A skilled female picker can only pluck about 2000 pieces of tea bud tips per day; However, for 500g golden eyebrow Lapsang black tea, it requires at least 58,000 pieces of tea buds to make 500g finished products. In other words, this skilled tea picker should pluck at least 29 days, so that 500g golden eyebrow black tea can come into exisiting.
Strictly adopting the traditional hand-made processing technology of bohea lapsang tea, golden eyebrow Lapsang has unique characteristics, such as tight, slender and gold-yellow-black tea leaf, bright golden tea liquid, mixed aromas of fruit, flower, honey, and potato.
