Gold Medal Jin Mu Dan

Harvest: Spring 2025

Origin: Shekou, Fu'an, Fujian Province

Cultivar: Jin Mu Dan (Golden Peony)

Processing: New Technique

While New Technique Panyong Congou teas often lean towards a specific flavour note such as peach or rose, this version evades such simple descriptions. It offers a more complex and elegant aroma within a smooth and thick texture.

This tea won the Gold Award at the 16th Tanyang Gongfu Cup and is made by the Li Family. Both Mr Li and his son have been appointed Intangible Cultural Heritage Inheritors. Besides making tea themselves, they have also educated producers in Sichuan, Guizhou, and other provinces in the craft of gongfu red tea processing. As recognised experts on Panyong Congou, they have collected a large number of historical objects and documents related to this tea and curated a musuem in Fu’an. Interviews with the Li Family members will be published in our upcoming documentary. 

Suggested brewing: 5g or 7g in a 100ml porcelain vessel, with flash steeps.
