Jin Jun Mei: All You Need To Know

Today, we look at Jin Jun Mei, a fairly new, quite delicious, and very expensive black tea. Is it worth the hype? (TL;DR—yes!) Gabriele compares two different styles of Jin Jun Mei, and examines why, although black tea is frequently undervalued by tea lovers, this style developed in 2005 has taken the tea world by storm. A delicately floral, subtly golden storm.

One thing I like about your videos is that you make reference to other tea channels on YouTube and even other tea sellers. Most of the other channels by producers don't, it feels like they're all trying to compete both with their products but also their videos, with their videos as an extension of their marketing. I appreciate your dedication to tea being greater than your dedication to marketing.

Nice video! I was fortunate to visit Tongmuguan last May - my Chinese friend was able to sneak us in. Truly one of the most beautiful places I have been to in China.

All I taste is honey with the Jin jun mei tea I purchased. It’s very yellow and flavorful, brews red.

I bought some Yin Jun Mei from local tea seller last year. It is really nice black tea with chocolate and friuty aroma. Full of lychee :)

[ReedJanicki]

very informative. would be interested to know how much tea you used and how long your brew for

[zbigniewpilipczuk]

I am pretty much convinced that what we call black tea in China is called a red one. I may be wrong.

[DNS-FRANK]

I'm actually looking into buying some of this soon 😊

For me this is a new experience. I understand black tea originated from WuYi area.
