Description

Of China’s ten most famous teas, Junshan Yinzhen is one of the rarest and most famous. Small amounts are made on Junshan Island in northern Hunan Province. We chose the rarest of the rare. This tea consists of buds that have been yellowed, which means slowly, lightly oxidized. This is done by controlling the fixing of the green of the buds. The teamaker does not stop the oxidation process completely (fixing the green). This gives the brew a slightly sweet and fruity flavor. This tea is only sold in China to connoisseurs. Our Chinese friends were surprised that we would buy this expensive tea. Mike said that there are tea connoisseurs in the States too. So please try this extra-special tea.
