"Fallen into mud and ground into dust, yet its fragrance remains as before." In Chinese tea culture, the plum blossom has always symbolized nobility and tenacity. When the soul of the plum meets the essence of the tea, this Meizhan Jinjunmei, which has captivated countless tea enthusiasts, comes into being. Within this unique tea fragrance lies not only the delicate aroma of the plum but also the profound spirit of literati that has endured for thousands of years in Chinese tea culture. Taking a gentle sip and having the lingering fragrance in the mouth, one can truly understand the artistic conception of "Reciting poems with the fragrance in the mouth while facing the snow". It turns out that true elegance is subtly hidden within this cup of tea.
Meizhan, an excellent tea tree variety from Anxi, Fujian, was originally used for making oolong tea. Due to its strong adaptability, it has gradually been introduced into the production of black tea, such as Jinjunmei, and white tea. The Meizhan tea tree sprouts early, with plump buds and a high content of tea polyphenols. The black tea made from it has a unique aroma, carrying a natural floral and fruity fragrance, similar to the scent of plum blossoms or orchids, making it stand out among various tea varieties.
This year, the Meizhan Jinjunmei of Tongxin She Teahouse is carefully refined using the raw materials of spring tea from old Meizhan trees on high mountains, following the production process of Jinjunmei. It can be said that this is the best-quality Meizhan Jinjunmei we have made in recent years.
Pick up a handful of dried tea leaves and take a deep sniff. It's as if you are instantly transported to a plum forest after a snowfall. Within that cool and delicate fragrance, there is a faint hint of honey. When boiling water is poured in, the cool fragrance of white plums and the sweet aroma of ripe fruits blend together, rising with the steam, creating a unique "double fragrance waves". When the tea soup cools down a bit, a cool fragrance like frost and snow condenses at the bottom of the cup. It is the unique volatile aromatic substances of the Meizhan tea tree presenting its final masterpiece.
"Tea has no distinction between expensive and cheap; the one that suits your taste is a treasure. However, Meizhan Jinjunmei is an exception that makes tea connoisseurs willingly submit." The 2025 Meizhan Jinjunmei is now ready. If you also have a passion for Jinjunmei, we strongly recommend you to try this tea.

The so-called good tea is one that makes water remember the high mountains and deep valleys where each tea leaf has wandered, makes the lips and teeth become the translators of the local conditions and customs, and makes the tea fragrance become the annotation of time. I am Jon from Tongxin She Teahouse, a humble tea lover on the journey of seeking tea, and I am delighted to share the tea I love with all of you.
