The name Jun Shan Jin Bi means “Golden Coin from Mount Jun”. It is so called because the tea leaves are compressed into the shape of a coin, before being wrapped with golden foil paper.

The processing of this tea involves using both Yellow tea and Pu-erh tea processing technique. According to Jun Shan Yin Zhen Tea Co.

Taste:
The fragance of the dried tea leaves is out of this world – it is strong and smells wonderfully sweet and minty.

We recommend using only a quarter of the coin for every 150ml of water.
