I have been in the tea industry for over ten years, and have been dealing with Jin Junmei black tea for more than six years. Many friends have asked me what exactly constitutes authentic Jin Junmei, and what is the appropriate price for genuine Jin Junmei.
Currently, Jin Junmei tea on the market ranges from tens of yuan per catty to over ten thousand yuan, making it difficult for ordinary tea enthusiasts to distinguish.
For me, tea tasting is not only about experiencing an inner feeling, but also about savoring the lingering fragrance in my mouth.
Taking this opportunity to review Ziyue Jin Junmei black tea, I purchased three similarly priced Jin Junmei samples from a shopping mall, a tea wholesale market, and an online store for evaluation.
I. Appearance
II. Liquor Color and Flavor
Authentic Jin Junmei can be infused more than seven times, and the liquor color and flavor remain relatively consistent. Therefore, in evaluating the liquor color and flavor, the assessment is based on a comprehensive review of seven infusions.
III. Tea Leaf Base
Tea enthusiasts particularly enjoy examining the leaf base after drinking tea. This is not merely a folk tradition but has a certain scientific basis, as it helps determine the season and tenderness of the tea leaves.
Based on analysis from various aspects, Ziyue Jin Junmei black tea decisively outperforms similarly priced products.
Such an advantage in tasting scores is naturally inseparable from the Ziyue Tea team. In working with their team, their tea development and service innovation leave a deep impression — they have a strong evaluation team of over 1,000 people (tea makers + tea tasters + fan consultant group). The tea makers provide hundreds of different tea flavors for professional scoring by the tasters, and the fan consultant group then selects the flavors most suitable for the general public. This ensures professional quality while meeting popular tastes.
With the power of the internet, they have revolutionized the traditional tea industry chain. This is the core purpose of Ziyue Tea — to make water taste better and make drinking tea simpler.
