This "Wuyi Mountain Old Tree Golden Bud Jin Jun Mei" is entirely handpicked from centuries-old high mountain small-leaf varietal Cai tea trees grown at elevations of 1,300-1,500 meters in Tongmuguan. The deep-rooted old trees draw nutrients from weathered gravel soil rich in potassium, magnesium, and other minerals, resulting in tea buds with amino acid content reaching 4.3% (GB/T 8314), polyphenols at 19.8%, and caffeine at 2.9%. These components form the core flavor profile of "fresh and smooth without bitterness, thick and full-bodied." Only single buds are hand-picked manually after three consecutive sunny days following the Spring Equinox—76,000 tea buds are needed to produce just 100 grams of finished tea. The entire processing is conducted naturally indoors: 8 hours of wilting → light rolling → 80 minutes of temperature-controlled fermentation at 27°C → gentle full drying, with moisture content ≤4.1%. GC-MS testing shows linalool at 1.42 mg/g and geraniol at 0.87 mg/g, creating a complex wildflower aroma; tea theaflavins at 1.22% and thearubigins at 10.1% (GB/T 30483), giving the tea liquor a golden brilliance with a wide amber rim. The taste unfolds layer by layer with floral notes, honey sweetness, and fruity aroma, the liquor thick and smooth like rice soup, leaving a moistening sensation at the base of the tongue and a coolness in the throat after swallowing. Caffeine content is 29 mg per 200 ml, offering a gentle energizing effect; water extractables reach 46.5%, indicating high durability, with a smooth sweet flavor remaining through 10-12 infusions. It is certified under both SC and SGS standards, 100% traceable with zero pesticide residue; double-sealed in aluminum foil bag and tin canister, maintaining original quality for up to 24 months when stored at room temperature away from light. If you wish to experience the triple symphony of "floral, honey韵, woody aroma" nurtured by century-old tea trees, this can of Old Tree Golden Bud Jin Jun Mei is your direct pass.
