Fair priceverified

800–2,000 NT$ / 600 g

One jin is 600 g. Below NT$500, be sceptical.

A reasonable range is NT$800–2,000 per 600 g. Below NT$500, ask more questions. Competition-grade lots command a large premium. Ask which association ran the competition, which year, and for the seal.

What to ask when buying this

Is this a competition tea? Which association, which year?

Grading standards differ between associations, so awards are not comparable across competitions. Genuine lots come with a seal and certificate.

Which season is this from?

Spring and winter lots fetch the highest prices and the best aroma; summer and autumn are a step down in both.

May I taste it first?

If they will not let you taste but want you to buy 600 g of something expensive, walk away. It is the simplest and most effective filter there is.

Is there a traceability record or QR code?

A scannable producer record beats any verbal assurance.

Common mistakes with this tea

Use hot enough water

90°C or above. Too cool and the roast aroma never opens, leaving it flat.

Seal it and keep it dark

Best drunk within two months.

Start with 30–75 g

The most common beginner regret is buying 600 g on the first try. Buy a jin only after you know you like it.

What to eat with it

Fenguo Jelly夏An amber sweet-potato-starch jelly, springy rather than sticky, often served in the same bowl as douhua.

Aiyu Jelly夏Natural pectin washed from aiyu seeds, served with lemon and syrup. Almost flavourless on its own — the tea supplies the aroma.

A chilled jelly has almost no flavour of its own; a heavily roasted tea would bury it. A fragrant, lightly oxidised tea lifts it instead.
