Junshan Silver Needle Tea
Junshan Silver Needle is a unique Chinese yellow tea made entirely from selected tea buds. These tea buds are as slender as needles and are both robust and uniform in length, making them very striking. Their surfaces are covered with delicate fuzz, the interior is orange in color, and the outer layer is wrapped in a layer of white fuzz, which is why they are elegantly called “gold inlaid with jade”.
The history of Junshan Silver Needle can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty in China, when it was known as “Yellow Plume”. The origin of this name is very graphic: the dense hairs on the tea leaves and the golden background color, after brewing, each tea leaf will be like a yellow feather pavilion, very beautiful. This unique form and beautiful name have made Junshan Silver Needle highly respected since ancient times.
