From Yunnan Sourcing

This is a Tong Mu village area Jin Jun Mei that is processed with low heat and short frying times to preserve the trichomes (leaf hairs) on the leaves. The original character of this tea plus the careful processing has given this tea creamy chocolatey taste that is joyous to experience! There is also fruit and malt, and (if you brew long or with super hot water) a slight astringent character. Careful brewing with initially cautious (short) steeps brings out the best in this lovely tea!

Harvest time: April Harvest

Region: Tong Mu Village (Fujian)

Spring 2023 batch.

Prepared in my Jian Shui gaiwan, and served in my porcelain tea cup via my glass cha hai. Filtered Santa Monica municipal water just off the boil throughout.

Fine, soft, black/gold lightly twisted strands brew up into a dark orange silky liquor.

Lightly fruity/floral aroma is mild but pleasant.

Fairly dry, linear, earthy with hints of cocoa-nibs and a lingering bread-like sweetness. Delicate minerality and the faintest astringency if pushed. Lasts for many infusions without losing much character or developing off notes.

Refined, but more inoffensive than luxurious. I’ll enjoy my small bag, but don’t feel the need to stock up.
