Jinya, as the name suggests, refers to the tender buds of tea leaves at the time of picking. After harvesting the newly grown tender buds, they are processed according to traditional tea-making techniques. Following fermentation, the initially processed tender buds turn golden in color, and are then pressed into cakes or other shapes.
Generally speaking, Jin Ya Pu’er tea is of a higher grade, so as a Pu’er tea beverage, it naturally has a unique flavor. Fermented Jin Ya tea has a reddish-brown color, a rich and bright liquor, a pure aroma, a strong aged scent, and a reddish-brown leaf base, with a mellow and distinctive taste. As a type of ripe tea, regular consumption can help warm the stomach, aid digestion, reduce greasiness, and lower blood sugar.
Pu’er tea is classified into Special Grade and Grades 1 to 10 based on their distinct quality characteristics: The Special Grade has tight, straight, and relatively thin leaves, showing fine buds; the liquor is dark red with a strong aged aroma, rich and mellow in taste, and the leaf base is fine and reddish-brown. Grade 1 has tightly knotted and slightly tender leaves, showing some buds; the liquor is dark red, the taste is mellow and harmonious, the aroma is rich and pure, and the leaf base is tender and reddish-brown. Grade 3 has tightly knotted leaves, still showing some buds; the liquor is dark red, the taste is mellow and harmonious, the aroma is rich and pure, and the leaf base is soft and reddish-brown. Grade 5 has firm leaves showing slight buds; the liquor is deep red, the taste is mellow and harmonious, the aroma is pure, and the leaf base is unevenly reddish-brown but still soft. Grade 7 has plump, firm leaves, reddish-brown with a slightly grayish hue; the liquor is deep red, the taste is mellow and harmonious, the aroma is pure and harmonious, and the leaf base is unevenly reddish-brown but still tender. Grade 8 has plump leaves, reddish-brown with a slightly grayish hue; the liquor is deep red, the taste is mellow and harmonious, the aroma is pure and harmonious, and the leaf base is unevenly reddish-brown but still tender.

Grade 10 has slightly loose leaves, reddish-brown with a slightly mottled appearance; the liquor is deep red, the taste is mild and harmonious, the aroma is mild and harmonious, and the leaf base is slightly coarse and reddish-brown.
The classification of grades is based on tenderness; the higher the tenderness, the higher the grade. The evaluation of tenderness mainly considers three aspects: first, the number of buds. More and more prominent buds indicate higher tenderness; second, the degree of leaf curl (tightly rolled leaves) and solidity. Tightly curled and solid leaves indicate better tenderness; third, the luster and glossiness. Glossy and lustrous leaves indicate good tenderness, while dry and dull leaves indicate poor tenderness.
