ORIGIN: Wuyishan, Fujian, China
BACKGROUND: This Yan Cha was cultivated from the Wusan Di Tea Garden. Jin Mu Dan tea is a clone, shrub type, middle leaf type, and an early-growing species. The fertility of buds and leaves is strong and tender.
Jin Mu Dan was bred with excellent quality, strong lines, long fragrance, mellow and sweet taste, bold flavor and quality characteristics of a Tie Guan Yin varietal. In fact, Jin Mu Dan was bred by the Tea Research Institute of Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences from 1978 to 2002. A crossbreeding between Tie Guan Yin and Huang Bi creates the unique taste and aroma of Jin Mu Dan.
CHARACTERISTICS: The tea is rich in texture and taste, while the aroma of gardenia and golden peony fumes the liquor. The tea soup is orange, red, bright, clear and transparent. The mouthfeel is smooth and thick upon entrance, with the quintessential yan yun (rock rhyme) lingers around the throat, along with the hui gan (lingering sweetness) lasting within the mouth and gums. This yan cha will not disappoint!Company description not available.
