About Zheng Shan Tang Silver Horse Eyebrow (Yin Jun Mei)

In 2005, through conjoining traditional techniques and technological innovations, Mr. Jiang and his team created our signature black tea, Jin Jun Mei. This black tea is produced in Tongmu Village, Wuyishan City, in Fujian province by Zheng Shan Tang.
Compared with Golden Horse Eyebrow (Jin Jun Mei) whose raw material is only tea buds, Yin Jun Mei is made by one tea bud with one tea leaf, which makes its taste and quality are inferior to Jin Jun Mei. However, the price of it is also cheaper than Jin Jun Mei which makes it affordable for daily consumption.
