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.

Mouya Junshan Yellow Silver Needle tastes and smells very close to Silver Needle White tea, but slightly stronger. This tea allows at least 5 times refill and even with long time brewing, it would not taste bitter.

Jasmine Pearl  (also called Jasmine Dragon Pearl) is one of the most popular scented tea from China. The Mouya Jasmine Pearl is made from Huang Shan Mao Feng  green tea, and premium jasmine flower from Hengxian, Guangxi. The green tea is flavored with jasmine flower (no perfume at all!), and absorb the fragrance of the flower and add the floral aroma to the tea.

Premium scented tea should not contain the flowers or just very limited amount for decoration. During production, it needs 3~7 portions of jasmine flower to combine with one portion of original green tea. The green leaves and jasmine are piled up with layers in order to allow the green tea to absorb the fragrance from the flowers. When the scented tea is ready, the flowers have lost all the fragrance and thus should be removed.

Mouya Jasmine Pearl is hand-rolled from scented jasmine tea into ball shape. When it is brew, it gently unfurls and releases fresh jasmine fragrance. Anyone who’s interested in scented tea or fresh floral flavor is highly recommended to try this Jasmine Pearl!

Chrysanthemums were first cultivated in China as a flowering herb far back to the 15th century BC. An ancient Chinese city (Xiaolan town, Zhongshan City, which is located 120km from Mouya’s base) is named Ju-Cheng, meaning "chrysanthemum city".

The Chrysanthemum is one of the “Four Gentlemen” in Chinese view (the others are plum blossom,  orchid, and bamboo), and is symbolic of nobility. Yellow or white chrysanthemum flowers are boiled to make a sweet drink in China, which is known as Juhuacha (Chrysanthemum tea).  Chrysanthemum tea has many medicinal uses, including an aid in recovery from influenza, and cooling down internal body heat. Chrysanthemum is also popular, especial in and around Hong Kong area) to be mixed with Pu’er, and become Ju-Pu (Chrysanthemum Pu’er Tea).
