In Mandarin Chinese, this tea is called Huo Shan Huang Ya.

Graceful, sappy with a distinctive cool finish that leaves the mouth very refreshed.

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

One of China's most famous teas and was allegedly 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. This is the first crop, picked in late march before the Qing Ming Festival, composed almost entirely of perfectly formed, tender buds.

In Mandarin Chinese, this tea is called Ming Qing Mo Gan Huang Ya.

An amazing and rare yellow tea from Mo Gan mountain in Zhejiang province. It is composed of extremely small tips and leaf, which were the first crop of the year, picked at the end of March 2008.

A vivid, fresh, delicately floral tea.
