# Notes Interesting. Extracts very quickly, easy to get a very black tea level of astringency. When not oversteeped, I get both fruity and vegetal notes, and still some tart astringency. Transient yammyness. # Vendor Copy > The name Jin Qian means money. Jin Qian is named after the shape of the leaves, which are relatively short and round -- like a coin. Picking is more difficult than other cultivars since the leaves stay close to the branches and the branching structure tends to be short and dense. > > This tea is from my cousin, and was featured for the first time in the August 2022 issue. I enjoyed it and decided to get the 2022 harvest as well. Since he does not have much of this tea, if there is not a special request the tea would likely get mixed with other small batches to reduce labor. I'm glad we went for it again, I think this year is even better.
