Jin Jun Mei is a premium variety of authentic Lapsang Souchong black tea, belonging to the black tea category. The production of Jin Jun Mei black tea only partially follows traditional Lapsang Souchong methods. During withering, the tea leaves are considered mature when they turn from bright green to dark green. Fermentation is the most crucial step and should be adjusted according to the weather. If fermentation is insufficient, it can easily result in a bitter taste; if fermentation time is too long, it will resemble ordinary Lapsang Souchong and fail to develop the unique honey-like aroma characteristic of Jun Mei.
Drying is also critical; precise control of time and temperature is essential to develop Jin Jun Mei's genuine honey-sweet fragrance. The most significant difference between Jin Jun Mei and traditional Lapsang Souchong is that traditional Lapsang Souchong is smoked over pine wood, whereas Jin Jun Mei tea leaves undergo only minimal smoking during the withering process and are not smoked over pine wood. The production of Jun Mei demands extremely high standards for tea leaves and craftsmanship, resulting in limited output and making it exceptionally precious.
