Junshan Yinzhen (Simplified Chinese: 君山银针; Traditional Chinese: 君山銀針; pinyin: jūn shān yín zhēn, lit. "Silver Needle(s) of the Gentleman Mountain") is a Yellow tea from Junshan Island of Hunan Province in China. It is one of Chinese Famous Teas. Though the same kind of tea trees are also planted around Dongting Lake, where Junshan Island is locate, those teas should not be called Junshan Yinzhen. The tea resembles the White tea Yinzhen known as Bai Hao Yinzhen. Junshan Yinzhen, apparently the preferred tea of Chairman Mao, is a rare tea sometimes sold as White tea.
