Not every spring bud is the same.
The ones that form in the coldest days of early March — before the mountain has fully warmed — are different. Tighter. Denser. More concentrated in everything that makes a great tea great.
Those are the only buds we use for Jinshan Sunshine.
Jinshan Sunshine is our most carefully selected single-bud green tea — harvested at the very opening of the spring season, at 850 meters elevation in the Daba Mountains of Sichuan. The picking window is narrow. The standards are exacting. It takes more than 30,000 hand-picked buds to produce just 500 grams of finished tea, and every one of those buds is chosen by hand, one at a time.
Each bud is flat-pressed and pan-fired using traditional craftsmanship — a process that demands both precision and patience. The finished leaf is smooth, straight, and a luminous jade-green, with a surface so even it catches the light like polished stone.
In the cup, the liquor pours a clear, brilliant yellow-green — vivid and alive. The aroma rises immediately: deep roasted chestnut and warm pan-fired grain, layered with a delicate mountain freshness that opens slowly as the cup breathes. The taste is full, clean, and exceptionally smooth. The sweetness arrives not at the front of the sip, but after — a long, resonant finish that builds and lingers. This is a tea that asks you to slow down. And rewards you for it.
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. The kind of tea that deserves to be brewed with care — and now, with ease.
