The Story of This Tea
Feng Shui Guang lies at the meeting point of Fujian and Jiangxi Provinces, where the tea gardens rise above 1000 meters. The area is surrounded by mist and clouds for much of the year, with cool summers averaging 25°C and cold winters where frost forms in January. This clean, high-altitude environment creates a slow, steady growth cycle that enhances sweetness and aroma in the leaves.
This honey-scented Jin Jun Mei is made entirely from the buds of the Fuyun No. 6 cultivar. The fresh buds are covered in fine white fuzz, which turns golden after oxidation and drying, giving the finished tea its signature golden threads. As the earliest batch harvested each spring, it represents the finest and most delicate expression of the season’s production. The tea is sweet but never heavy, carrying a refined honey fragrance and a clear, transparent liquor.
Aroma and Flavour
This Jin Jun Mei offers an elegant honey aroma with gentle floral notes. The flavour is smooth, sweet, and refreshing, leaving a light lingering finish. The liquor is bright and clear, showcasing the purity of its early spring material. It performs beautifully in both Gong Fu and Western-style brewing, making it a versatile choice for quiet enjoyment or afternoon tea.
