Junshan Yinzhen (君山银针 is a Yellow tea from Junshan Island of the Hunan Province in China. It is one of Chinese Famous Teas. Although the same cultivars are also planted around Dong Ting Lake, where Junshan Island is located, those teas should not be called Junshan Yinzhen. The production of this tea is very limited as only tea leaves before Qing Ming are harvested. Tea leaves picked after this period are processed into other teas such as Jun Shan Mao Jian and Jun Shan Lu Cha. Therefor authentic Junshan Yinzhen is among the rarest of China’s famous teas.
