August? What happened to July? For that matter where did spring and summer go? The first cold snap is probably only 7 weeks away. Oh well, maybe that will help get me moving drinking tea again.
Actually, I tell you what it takes to motivate me – Jin Jun Mei. I love Fujian tea. This is a really excellent one. I honestly can’t think of a single negative thing to say about this one. From the moment I opened the bag I was hooked. It has all the wonderful scent you expect from it. The leaf is beautiful. The brew color is dark, dark, ruby red. The aroma is intoxicating. Teasenz says it has notes of orange. Others mention this as well. To me it is like fruit wine, except better, cause its tea ;)
The taste is honey and sweet potato, malt and hay, along with the fruity wine vibe. Accompanying this mixed in with a pleasant bite is molasses and cocoa.
I made two mugs and the second was as excellent as the first. I know most of my reviews are positive – because I don’t drink stuff I don’t like. That said, this is really good. If I still rated teas, I would slide the bar way to the right.

Oh yeah, I got a free sample of this a while back and it was amaaaazing. It smells like cocoa powder when you open it, and the inside of the pouch it came in was covered in this beautiful fine pekoe dust.
A lovely description! I don’t know how I’ve gone this long without Jin Jun Mei in my life ;)
I don’t love Fujians in general but a good Jin Jun Mei is close to the top of my tea heaven list. I need a replacement for when I run out of MinRiver Tea’s. On to the wishlist this one goes!
