Jun Shan Yin Zhen

This is a genuine Junshan Yinzhen (Silverneedle from Mount Jun) of top-quality that comes from the island of Junshandao in the lake Dongtinghu, produced as a classical needle-shaped yellow tea (Zhenxingcha). It has been yellowed by packing, unpacking, shuffling and re-packing it for 60 hours in a warm room. This decisive process is called Menhuang, which translates as stuffy/hot and humid yellowing. The original region for Junshan Yinzhen on the island of Junshandao is very small, which makes this tea very coveted and expensive. This is added to the very labour intensive process of Menhuang, of which the yellow tea results.

Huang Ye Cha

A Bai Hao Yin Zhen of great quality, plucked from wild tea bushes. Wilted under the sun and dried over charcoal. During the second half of the 20th century many tea gardens have been abandoned. These are now being cleared from shrubs, weeds and bamboo to make them accessible again. From these gardens, wild teas are being made. For this type of tea the term Yehuangcha has evolved in Chinese, meaning wild, fallow tea.

Yin Zhen

A genuine Baihaoyinzhen traditionally produced of top quality. It has been sun-dried for approximately 50 hours; longer than most white teas today. This gives the tea a darker and softer, less green and grassy quality.
