Floral Jin Jun Mei Black Tea

I looked forward to opening up this tea sample for a unique (and maybe silly) reason this time. It just so happens that my wife and her cousin call each other Jin Jun. I don’t know why and I’m not sure they know either. However, it seemed like fate to give this one a try.

The unbrewed leaves/buds were long, gold, and black. The smell was quite sweet, like a breakfast coffee cake, which immediately ramped up my sweet tooth (more like teeth).

As instructed on the packet, I brewed the leaves for five minutes at 185 degrees. The steeped liquor was a golden color. The aroma was quite sweet and alluring.

The taste of this tea was splendid. It was similar to a freshly baked sugar cookie with chocolate and mild fruit and floral accents. A light and tender aftertaste followed each sip.

Like all Teavivre teas, it was quite smooth. My only challenge with their smooth teas is that I tend to gulp them down. I’m trying to change my ways and slowly savor these teas.

This is another winner amongst Teavivre’s ever-growing collection of fine teas. I’m giving away my age here, but when I was a young man (in the dark ages), I never hesitated to buy a Beatles record album, songs unheard, as soon as it came out. I knew it would be great and I would love it. This is how I feel about Teavivre’s teas. I’m confident I will never be disappointed.
