4. How was Jin Jun Mei born?

In 2005, the 24th generation of Zhengshan Xiaojiao Jiang Yuanxun in the inheritance of more than four hundred years of Zhengshan Xiaojiao black tea culture and production techniques, led the team through the integration of innovation, successfully developed Jinjunmei. Upon its introduction, this tea was warmly welcomed throughout China and remains a representative of high-end black tea. The name "Jin Jun Mei" comes from the fact that it resembles a human eyebrow, and it is also in honor of the tea maker, Mr. Leung Chun Teh, who took out the word "Chun" from his name and combined it into the name "Chun Mei". And according to the tea picking standards and different grades, and in front of the addition of gold, silver, copper to distinguish between the three grades. The Tea Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences defines Jin Jun Mei as a tea made from the tea buds of wild tea trees at an altitude of 1,200 to 1,500 meters above sea level in the Wuyi Mountain National Nature Reserve after more than 400 years of traditional and innovative production techniques. Therefore, not all black teas can be called Jinjunmei, and this definition has a very clear definition of Jinjunmei's origin, altitude, raw material and process.

Fifth, Jinjunmei is Zhengshan Xiaojiao?

Jinjunmei is a new type of black tea, based on the basis of the traditional Zhengshan Xiaoshou for research and development, but there are differences in the harvesting standards and production process.

Because the cost of Jin Jun Mei is too high and the production is too small, it is only supplied to the high-end market. In order to meet the needs of the sub-end and mid-end markets, new varieties such as Yin Junmei and Chi Gan have emerged, both of which are made from Zhengshan Xiao Seed and are produced using modern techniques.

These new varieties in the process of production omitted the most important traditional Sho Shan Xiao Seed smoke weight process, so there is no traditional Sho Shan Xiao Seed pine smoke fragrance but retains the original flavor of the work of the black tea, and highlights the flowers, fruits, honey and other characteristics.

Sixth, how to choose Jinjunmei?

1. Look at the dry tea: Jinjunmei tea is picked from a single bud, so if there is a bud and two leaves or a bud and three leaves in the dry tea, then it is likely to be fake products pretending to be Jinjunmei. In addition, the dried tea of Jinjunmei should show a mixture of gold buds and black buds, with the proportion of gold buds around 30%-40%. Most of the so-called Jinjunmei tea on the market are all yellow buds or all black buds then they are not real Jinjunmei.

2. Look at the tea broth: Jinjunmei tea broth shows a bright golden yellow color, very clear and transparent, and there is a distinctive golden circle, so if there is a yellowish-brown or reddish tea broth after brewing, then it is likely to be a fake Jinjunmei. In addition, the transparency of Jinjunmei tea broth should be crystal clear, which is due to the fire work of making Jinjunmei tea. However, the fire work of making counterfeit Jinjunmei is generally unable to meet the standard, therefore, their tea broth usually shows more turbidity and more impurities.

3. Smell the tea aroma: real Jinjunmei tea in the production process did not use the red pot, and did not carry out remaking. The aroma of Yu tea is dominated by floral and fruity aroma and honey aroma without flavors such as caramel aroma or sweet potato aroma. In contrast, in order to enhance the sweetness of the tea, counterfeit Jinjunmei tea leaves may have sugar added and smoked during the production process, and as a result, the flavor of these teas is usually tinged with flavors such as caramel or sweet potato aroma. In addition, besides smelling the dry tea flavor, you can also smell the wet tea aroma after brewing. The real Jinjunmei tea after two or three times in the brewing tea, aroma is still fresh, while the counterfeit Jinjunmei tea after the first bubble aroma is very strong, after a few bubbles of flavor is very light, the change is very obvious.

4. Look at the place of origin: Jinjunmei is a variant of Zhengshan small species of tea varieties, and therefore and Zhengshan small species, there is only one authentic production area, that is, Wuyishan Tongmuguan. Wuyishan Tongmuguan is the birthplace of black tea, and only the Jinjunmei produced there is the real Jinjunmei. If Jinjunmei does not come from Tongmuguan, then it belongs to other varieties of tea and is not the real Jinjunmei. Therefore, when buying Jinjunmei, you should carefully check the origin of the tea.
