Hunan Junshan Silver Needle Yellow Tea（yinzhen）

Junshan Silver Needle Yellow Tea（Junshan yinzhen）：The Dancing White Phoenix of Dongting Lake

Junshan yinzhen Yellow Tea Crafted exclusively on Junshan Island in mystical Dongting Lake (China’s “Land of Fish and Rice”), this living heritage tea has dazzled emperors since the Tang Dynasty (618 AD). Our tea grows in fog-shrouded golden-hour light, its downy buds absorbing the essence of freshwater pearls and lotus-scented breezes. Master producers use a guarded 18-step process, including the sacred *menhuang* (yellowing) ritual where buds are wrapped in lotus leaves to develop their signature honeyed smoothness.
