"The rarest variety of all teas, its name translates to "Silver Needles of Jun Shan Mountain". Jun Shan is actually an island located in Dong Ting lake in China’s Hunan province. The climate and soil on this small island, along with the special processing of the tea, create a unique aroma and flavor. The aroma is delicate and soft with wisps of fruitiness. The taste is sweet and smooth with a hint of fruit. The flavor is closer to a white tea than a green tea because there isn’t any vegetal quality to it."
