Eyebrow because of its appearance is fine long hair very significantly, Mr. Jin is like man's eyebrows, and because to tea raw materials taken from the mountains, dry tea bar resembles the hippocampus, makers hope this tea such as horse pentium, popular in the market, coupled with the director Yangtze river fathers are mountain tea industry as the core of making collective nakae jun in the hair and Liang Junde name with a "jun", hence the name jun eyebrow. And according to the quality of tea and the standard of picking different, in front of the gold, silver, copper to distinguish the grade of Junmei, later into the folk, tea farmers often put copper Junmei called chigan (one bud and two leaves), and according to the extent of leaf opening, divided into small chigan (leaves not open) and big chigan (leaves open)
Junmei's production just follows part of the traditional production method of Lapsang. When withering, the tea green and the original bright green to dark green is regarded as mature. Ferment is the most important link, should undertake according to weather, if ferment degree is not in place, produce easily astringent feeling; If the fermentation time is too long, it will not produce the honey aroma characteristic of Junmei, just like normal Lapsang. Drying also very crucial should hold time correctly and temperature, ability makes jun eyebrow true honey sweet.
The main difference from traditional Lapsang is that the traditional lapsang is smoked with pine branches, while Junmei is not smoked with pine branches except for a small amount of smoke during withering. The production of junmei tea green and technology requirements are very high, 50 thousand tea buds to make a jin of silver Junmei, raw materials are scarce, the output is limited, so it is extremely valuable.
