JunshanYellow Silver Needle (Junshan Yin Zhen in Chinese) is one of the famous yellow tea in China. It is grown on Junshan island in Hunan Province. Same kind of tea trees are also planted in other places around Dongting lake, where Junshan island is located; however, those teas grown outside Junshan island should not be called Junshan Yellow Silver Needle. The island is so small that the production amount of Junshan Yellow Silver Needle is very limited every year, which makes it one of the rarest teas.

Yellow Tea:
As one of the six varieties Chinese teas, yellow tea is rare compared to the others. Yellow tea usually implies a special tea processing similarly as green tea, but with a slower drying phase. The rubbed tea leaves are allowed to naturally ferment for a longer time and get a yellow color, which is also present in the tea soup. Fine Chinese yellow tea is famous for its yellow soup and yellow leaves.
Process Steps: Withering → Heating → Natural fermentation→ Drying
