Jinjunmei was only created in 2005. In the thousands of years of tea history, it is considered a newly created tea. After its launch, It exploded in the market and was sought after by tea drinkers. A precious tea needs a nice name. The reason why it is called Jinjunmei is because it has slightly golden hair, which reminds people of the mane of a horse. It is also said that it is named after Mr. Liang Junde, one of the founders. The shape of tea resembles eyebrows, and the word "eyebrow" also means longevity, hence the name Jin Junmei. All Jinjunmei are picked from single buds. It takes 50,000 to 60,000 buds to make one pound of dry tea, which is not easy. If the raw material comes from Tongmu Village, it is the most authentic original Jinjunmei, also called Zhengshan Jinjunmei, and the output is very limited.
