Tea from several growing regions
This blend selects organic tea leaves from Hunan, Hubei, Yunnan and other tea-growing areas. Different origins contribute their own aromas, textures and depth.
Take time over the cup and discover how those qualities come together.
A blend built around balance
Blending gives the tea maker a way to bring complementary qualities together. Fresh aroma, a smooth liquor and mellow sweetness form the centre of this Junmei blend.
The leaf selection uses mature fresh leaves rather than an all-bud picking style.
Fresh fruit and gentle woodland notes
Dry leaf: even, slender dark-brown strips.
In the cup: clear orange-yellow liquor, fresh fruity and woodland notes, and a smooth, mellow sweetness.
After brewing: soft, even leaves in warm bronze tones.
Made with Junmei black-tea craft
Picking, withering, rolling, oxidation and drying bring the tea from fresh leaf to finished black tea. Junmei processing develops a fresh aroma and a mellow cup.
Look at the leaves, smell the aroma and compare successive infusions to discover the blend’s character.
A simple gaiwan brewing guide
Warm a gaiwan and begin with 3g of tea. Use water at 95–100°C. Start with a short infusion of about 3–5 seconds and decant fully.
As the flavour softens, extend towards 5–10 seconds, then 10–15 seconds as needed. If the cup becomes bitter or astringent, shorten the infusion or reduce the leaf quantity.
A 75g pack for everyday tea time
The pale botanical design pairs with the tea’s mellow character. Each pack contains 75g of loose-leaf black tea.
Reseal after use and store in a cool, dry place, away from light and strong odours.
