Identity and origin
Junshan Yinzhen is a rare bud-style yellow tea associated with Junshan in Dongting Lake. Authentic origin and actual yellow-tea processing both require verification.
Craft and leaf style
Tender buds are fixed and repeatedly yellowed under controlled warmth and moisture before final drying.
Aroma, taste and texture
Sweet corn, soft grain, mellow bean and gentle floral notes can appear with a rounded, low-edged cup.
Practical guidance
Use 2-3g per 250ml at 75-85°C and allow the buds time to open.
Identification and caution
Many needle-shaped teas are not Junshan Yinzhen. Require geographic and processing details, not just upright buds in a glass.
