Junshan Yinzhen
Jun Mountain's Silver Needle is in fact classified as a
yellow tea whose tea trees are planted in Junshan Island
in DongTing Lake of Hunan Province in China. It is one of
Chinese Famous Teas. The tea resembles the White tea
Yinzhen known as Bai Hao Yinzhen.
Only five of the original Yinzhen-producing trees remain
near Hunan's Dongting Lake, the only area where these
small, perfectly formed buds are grown and
manufactured. What makes Yellow Tea unique is an extra
step in processing. The unopened leaf- buds, tender and
covered with white hair, are quickly de-enzymed by heat
and then heaped and left covered with mats, a step which
induces the tea's bio-chemical transformation—not
oxidation—and produces the leaf's characteristic pale
gold color.

PREPARATION: Junshan Yinzhen may be prepared in a standard full-sized teapot, but for best results we
recommend using a gaiwan (traditional covered steeping cup). Preheat the gaiwan with hot water and fill
with 1-2 teaspoons of leaf. Cover with relatively hot water [80°-85°C (176°-185°F)] and infuse for 1 or 3
minutes, adjust time, temperature, and quantity according to your personal preference. To serve, pour
into a pitcher or directly into warmed tasting cups and enjoy. Junshan Yinzhen may be reinfused several
times by gradually increasing steeping time and water temperature.

After a final shaping and firing, Junshan Yinzhen offers an intriguing flavor, somehow deeper and fruitier
than Green tea, with abundant hints of smoke and an ethereally sweet finish. In Hunan people like to steep
this tea in tall glasses to enjoy the sight of a "floating forest of needles," which is the way the leaf looks as it
"stands up" rank above rank during infusion. A rare pleasure indeed, altogether.
