jin jun mei (floral)

              An elegant and fully-oxidized black tea from a small family garden in the Wuyi Mountains of Fujian Province.   Fine, delicate leaves produce a complex and resonant infusion rich with notes of malt, dried fruit, oak leaves, ginger flower and cassia with notes of toffee lingering on the palate. Grown in a comparable ecological setting as Tong Mu Guan, this evocative black tea was created from the fragrant Huang Guan Yin cultivar.
