Only the tenderest downy single buds are plucked in the first flush of early spring. It takes approximately 50,000 to 60,000 hand-picked buds to produce just 500 grams of finished tea.

Skilled hands carefully gather each bud before dawn to ensure optimal freshness and fragrance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe processing of Jin Jun Mei demands rare mastery.
