Grade
Where does Jin Jun Mei sit in the black tea range?
Black Tea is offered in three grades; Jin Jun Mei is listed second (grade origin: Tongmu, Wuyishan). Grade names fix pluck and origin; the cup is then decided by finishing, which the contract must state.
The three-grade ladder: Lapsang Souchong · Jin Jun Mei · Tanyang Gongfu. The full comparison table sits on Black Tea; every export grade is indexed under all 28 grades.
What must a Jin Jun Mei contract specify?
Beyond the code Jin Jun Mei itself: the grade origin (Tongmu, Wuyishan), moisture at or below 7.0%, a broken-and-fannings ceiling, the residue standard named by destination jurisdiction — for Russia that is EAEU TR CU 021/2011 and TR CU 022/2011, the packing net weight and the Incoterm. Finishing decides the cup once pluck and origin are fixed, so roast, smoke or scenting rounds belong in the contract where they apply. Residue is the clause that stops containers at destination and the one most often left generic.
