Finish: Crisp and remarkably sweet, leaving a lingering, refreshing huigan (sweet aftertaste).
Golden Peony (Jin Mudan) is an innovative, high-quality black tea variety. While processed as a black tea, its creation famously borrows the yaoqing (bruising/shaking) technique traditionally reserved for Oolong tea production. This hybrid crafting method gently bruises the edges of the leaves before full oxidation, dramatically unleashing the tea’s natural, complex floral aroma compounds.
The cultivar officially passed China's rigorous national evaluation in 2010, cementing its status as an elite, certified national tea plant variety. It represents a perfect marriage of traditional black tea sweetness and Oolong-style aromatic brilliance.
