This kind of tea is not seasoned tea, but it has a strong honey flavor. You don't need to add any milk or sugar, because the tea itself is sweet enough.

The golden ones are not only tea, but also tea soup!

Generally speaking, Chinese black tea tastes less astringent or bitter. If you think black tea is astringent, you may be surprised when you drink golden sprouts for the first time. When you brew this tea, it will show a very clear gold circle on the edge of the teacup.

It shows that tea is rich in clover, which is the secret of its mellow taste.

Why is this tea golden?

The young leaves were originally covered with white hairs. In the dry season, hair is necessary for tea to increase its surface area and effectively absorb moisture from the air. In the process of making tea, the juice of the tea is gradually released to the surface. At the same time, the juice of the tea is fermented and eventually turns golden.

You can make this tea over and over again!

You can enjoy not only one brew, but also 3-4 brewing times. Use as small a teapot as possible to reduce brewing time. The shorter the brewing time, the less damage to the tea. The quality of tea leaves has a longer shelf life. Considering the cost of a cup of tea, this is very economical.

This is a very rare kind of tea and is sometimes out of stock.

As demand from both China and European countries is good, it is difficult to ensure that there are enough high-quality "golden sprouts" inventory.

Jinya tea is a specialty tea in Guangxi, China. It comes from a specific variety found in Guangxi: Lingyun Baihao. This is the first variety identified as an improved variety in Guangxi. In the past, it was the raw material for making green tea from the Qing Dynasty. In the 1950s, it was exported to overseas markets, such as Morocco. This is a gift tea given to King Hassan II of Morocco during his visit to China. He uses it as his precious tea and serves it only when he receives distinguished guests. Because of its soft appearance, it looks like bamboo shoots in the water, emitting a subtle fragrance while brewing, which is highly appreciated. It is said that, because of its extremely soft appearance, it was suspected of being a fake tea until further investigation proved that it was its true nature. In fact, in addition to its soft appearance, the green tea produced with this variety is not very distinctive in taste and taste. Studies have shown that this variety has a higher content of polyphenols (35.6%, 19.81% than Keemun Black Tea and 34.17% of Guangdong black tea) and higher content of amino acids (3.36%, 1.53% than Guangdong black tea), which is more suitable for processing into black tea.

In Guangxi, the tea tree grows at an average altitude of 300-1000 meters in mountainous areas, in the northern and western parts of Guangxi, such as Lingyun County, Longping County, Xilin County and so on.

Compared with other provinces, the atmospheric temperature in Guangxi is relatively high: the annual average temperature is 18-23 ℃. Because of the high temperature, the harvest season began as early as March. During this time, new buds grow, and individual buds are carefully picked by hand and processed in the same way that Chinese Kungfu Tea was made: withering, kneading, fermentation and drying.
