March in the Daba Mountains.
The mist hasn’t lifted yet. The air still carries the cold of winter.
But the buds are already there, waiting.
Jinshan Spring Dawn is a single-bud green tea harvested in mid-March at 850 meters elevation — among the earliest pickings of the spring season. It takes more than 30,000 hand-picked buds to produce just 500 grams of finished tea. Each bud is hand-selected alone, flat-pressed and pan-fired using traditional craftsmanship. The result is a leaf that is smooth, straight, and vivid jade-green — the kind of tea that looks almost too beautiful to brew.
Almost.
In the cup, the liquor is a clear, luminous yellow-green — bright and clean, like sunlight through young leaves. The aroma is warm and toasty: roasted chestnut and pan-fired grain, with a freshness underneath that reminds you it is still spring. The first sip is gentle. The finish lingers with a natural sweetness — a slow, satisfying sweetness that builds after you swallow. No bitterness. No astringency. Just the quiet pleasure of a well-made cup.
This gift box contains 48 individually wrapped sachets, each holding exactly 4g — the precise amount for one full brewing session of 4–6 steeps. No scale needed, no guesswork. Open one sachet, add water, and let the spring in.
