This 'Premium Pine Aroma Jin Jun Mei' is carefully selected from the first flush of single buds and one bud with one leaf harvested after three consecutive sunny days following the Spring Equinox, at an altitude of 1100-1300 meters in Tongmuguan. The tea bush variety is the local small-leaf cultivar (Camellia sinensis var. sinensis), with over a century's age. Fresh leaves undergo six hours of natural indoor wilting with 45% moisture loss, followed by light rolling. They are then traditionally熏ed (smoked) in a 'Qinglou' smoke house using pine firewood for 24 hours at a temperature maintained between 40-45 °C. The guaiacol from the pine wood reacts with endogenous tea glycosides through the Maillard reaction to produce unique pine-smoked aromatic compounds (GC-MS confirmed guaiacol content: 0.87 mg/g). The theaflavins content reaches 1.05% (GB/T 30483), contributing to a bright orange-red liquor and a mellow, powerful taste. The golden ratio of total amino acids at 3.2% combined with polyphenols at 19% ensures a full-bodied yet non-bitter tea soup; caffeine content is 32 mg/200 ml, offering a gentle stimulating effect. After light firing and sufficient drying, the moisture content ≤4.3%, ensuring a shelf life of up to 24 months when stored in cool and dark conditions. Approximately 60,000 tender buds are required to produce every 100g of finished tea. Combining traditional pine smoke熏ing techniques with modern pesticide residue control, it passes 500 SGS tests and is safe and traceable. The flavor profile reveals intertwined pine smoke and honey sweetness upon sipping, followed by a prominent dried longan aroma in the middle notes, and finishes with a clean sweet aftertaste. It can be steadily infused 8-9 times while still retaining fragrance. For tea lovers who wish to experience the authentic smoked character of Tongmuguan but also seek high cost-effectiveness, this 'Premium Pine Aroma Jin Jun Mei' offers the essence of Wuyi Mountain’s pine breeze and honey charm at less than the price of a cup of hand-poured coffee.
