Both Jin Jun Mei and Da Hong Pao are considered high-end teas. Jin Jun Mei is a superior black tea, while Da Hong Pao is a high-quality oolong tea. Both are produced in Wuyi Mountain, so comparisons are inevitable. So, which is a better gift, Jin Jun Mei or Da Hong Pao?

1. Which is a better gift, Jin Jun Mei or Da Hong Pao?

Both are high-end teas. The choice depends on the context. First, consider whether the recipient appreciates tea and enjoys drinking it. If the recipient appreciates tea and enjoys drinking it, Da Hong Pao is a better choice, as its production volume is larger, and authentic Da Hong Pao is more readily available.

Secondly, if the recipient is someone who doesn't appreciate tea and doesn't have a tea-drinking habit, then Jin Jun Mei would be a better choice. Jin Jun Mei has a relatively low production volume and is considered a rare and precious tea, making it quite valuable and collectible even for those who don't drink tea.

2. Which is higher grade, Jin Jun Mei or Da Hong Pao?

Jin Jun Mei is slightly higher grade. Jin Jun Mei is a black tea, a type of fermented tea, while Da Hong Pao is a rock tea, a semi-fermented tea. Although Da Hong Pao is also a high-end tea, its production volume is relatively large, making it more suitable for the general public. Jin Jun Mei, on the other hand, is a top-grade tea, difficult to harvest, and therefore rarer.

3. How to brew Da Hong Pao tea

First, warm the teaware. Next, rinse the tea quickly to remove any impurities. Then, pour boiling water into the teaware containing the tea leaves, cover it, and let it steep for 4-5 minutes to fully extract the aroma. Pour it into a cup and it's ready to drink.
