Jinya Yunnan Golden Buds Black Tea is crafted with care and precision by skilled tea farmers in Yunnan. The process begins with the early-morning harvest of tender tea buds, which are selected for their freshness and natural sweetness. The leaves are then withered to reduce moisture while preserving their bright golden color.

After withering, the leaves are expertly rolled to release their natural oils, creating the tea’s signature aroma of honey and malt. The oxidation process follows, during which the leaves develop their deep flavor and golden tips. Finally, the tea is dried to lock in its distinct taste and texture. This meticulous process, perfected over generations, reflects Yunnan’s reputation as a world leader in fine tea production. Learn more about our tea-making philosophy on our About Us page.
