PRE RAIN JUN SHAN (IMPERIAL MOUNTAIN) SILVER NEEDLE YELLOW TEA

Yellow Tea by Jing Tea

In Chinese this tea is called Ming Qian Jun Shan Yin Zhen.

One of China’s most famous teas and was reportedly a favourite of Chairman Mao. Its production is extremely limited as it is only produced on Jun Shan Island in Dong Ting Lake, Hunan Province. Picked between 5th April and 15th April 2010 and composed almost entirely of perfectly formed, tender buds.

Of all the Jun Shan Yin Zhen I have had this year, Jing’s offering is absolutely the best hands down.
Due to its high price i thought i would seek out some JSYZ from other great tea sellers online, even managed to find the coded stuff in the gold tin.

TBH though this is the most expensive one around, but unfortunately it is IMO better by a country mile.

Definitely this years exceptional yellow.
