Honey Jin Jun Mei

These beautifully golden leaves produce a classically malty black tea, but knowing Jin Jun Mei, one can expect anything but the mundane: this one has been characterized by the producer as a honey flavor, and, true to character, the brew leaves a long-lasting sweetness on the tongue. It is the aromatics, though, that make it something else, with the tantalizing bitterness of cacao enlivened by an aroma of paprika, and even a hint of piquancy in the finish to complete the picture. Continuing for infusion after infusion, it is bound to satisfy the black tea lover looking for a next-level experience.
