Description

Golden Jun Mee grown in the Wuyi Mountains was first used to create Jin Jun Mei in the year 2005 in a village called Tongmu where Lapsang Souchong, the first black tea in the world was produced about 400 years ago. Considered to be the high end expensive Lapsang Souchang tea is made only using tender buds. This tea is highly concentrated with golden tips and delicately twisted that distinguishes itself from other black teas. When brewed it gives a crisp and deep flavour with a deep red colour. It can be enjoyed as it is since the liquor has honey like sweetness and a malty aroma.
