Golden Needle Premium Black Tea, or Jin Jian Mei, is a rare tea from Yunnan province of China. It is made from Da Bai (Big White) cultivar, that is used for Silver Needle white tea production, but undergoes full oxidation.

When infused, it makes a highly aromatic tea, with a rich flavour full of citrusy notes that leaves prune aftertaste.
