Description
Honored as the king of Yellow teas and one of
China's Ten Famous Tea, this rare and precious
yellow tea was sent to Russian President
Vladimir Putin as China's National Gift earlier
this year (2006). The tea originates from Jun
Shan Island (also known as the Island of
Immortals) of Lake Dong Ting in Hunan Province.
The yearly production of this tea is very
limited, using only before and early Qing Ming
harvest. Tea leaves picked after this period
were processed into other teas such as Jun Shan
Mao Jian and Jun Shan Lu Cha. Jun Shan Yin Zhen
was an Imperial Tribute tea back in the
ancient days, and is also well-known as
Chairman's Mao favorite tea.
Other names
Mount Jun Silver Needle
Taste
Delicate aroma with a hint of floral notes. The
taste is smooth, light and sweet at first sip but
finishes with a fleeting smoky taste. This
smokiness is only apparent in the first infusion
and is not offensive at all. If anything, we feel
that it actually adds character to the tea and
makes the sweetness stands out even more in later
tasting. After a few cups, you will still be able
to feel the light sweetness in your mouth.
Appearance
Jun Shan Yin Zhen consist of thick, needle-shape
tea buds that look dry and almost like an aged
tea. However, this is all due to the processing
method - the tea is very fresh, as you can
obviously tell from the taste.
Origin
Jun Shan, Hunan Province, China
Harvest Period
Spring 2013
