Often referred to in English as \u003cstrong\u003eGolden Eyebrow tea\u003c\/strong\u003e, a reference to the fine, slender appearance of the finished leaves. The style became known for bringing a more fragrant and refined expression to Chinese black tea, traditionally using tender spring material and careful oxidation.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eSpring 2026 harvest comes from Yangshan Mountain, Youxi, Fujian, China\u003c\/strong\u003e, a different origin and harvest from our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/esho.ae\/products\/jin-jun-mei-chinese-black-tea-100g\"\u003eJin Jun Mei Old Reserve\u003c\/a\u003e.

In the cup, the tea is rounded and full enough to satisfy a black tea drinker, while remaining aromatic rather than heavy. Sweetness is high, bitterness is low, and astringency is gentle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this lot particularly enjoyable is the contrast between its floral and darker notes. Orchid brings lift to the richer cocoa and malt character, while honey and caramel carry through into a warm, lingering finish. It is an expressive Jin Jun Mei with enough depth for slow brewing, but an easy profile for regular drinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTaste profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpect a cup that is \u003cstrong\u003ehoneyed, floral, cocoa-rich, and softly malty\u003c\/strong\u003e, with clear notes of \u003cstrong\u003ewild honey, orchid, cocoa, and caramel\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tea begins on a sweeter, more fragrant note and becomes deeper as it develops, bringing forward cocoa, malt, and caramelised warmth.
