A bud-style black tea from Wuyi
A bud-style black tea from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian. Floral-fruity aroma, an amber cup and a honeyed, lingering finish.
Jin Jun Mei gives you a Fujian black-tea comparison alongside our Yunnan Dianhong choices. The loose bud-style format suits careful measuring for a mug or a small-pot tasting. Begin with a plain infusion so you can judge this tea’s own character rather than the effect of milk or sweetener.

Preparing your cup
Mug or teapot: 3g per 250ml; 90°C / 194°F; start with 2–3 minutes.
Gongfu: 5g per 100–120ml; 90–95°C / 194–203°F; start with 10–15 seconds, then lengthen later infusions to taste.
Give the leaves room to open and remove or strain the tea when it reaches your preferred strength. Re-steep while the flavour remains enjoyable. These are starting points: adjust the leaf amount, water and time to your taste.
Use the published mug or gongfu starting recipe, then change the next steep gradually. The bud-style appearance is not a substitute for checking the exact pack information when you compare listings.
