THE STORY OF JIN JUN MEI

Jin Jun Mei black tea is originated from Tongmu
village in the Wuyi Mountain region, where also the famous Lapsang Souchong is produced. All teas from this region enjoy superior natural conditions. This loose leaf tea is only harvested before the Qingming festival every spring. This is because after the Qingming festival the weather will become too hot and as a consequence tea leaves will growth too fast to process the bud-rich Jinjunmei. Thus, after the Qingming festival, the leaves picked from the
tea bushes are often used to produce Lapsang Souchong.
