Huanghua Zhen (Yellow Flower): The Delicate Fragrance of Spring
Huanghua Zhen (Chinese:黄花针白茶, pinyin: Huánghuā zhēn báichá) is an exquisite Chinese white tea prized for its delicate aroma and mellow flavor. Its name translates as "Yellow Flower" and refers to the vibrant golden hue of the dried tea leaves and the delicate yellow liquor.
Origin and history
This tea grows in Fujian Province, in mountains covered with yellow flowers in the spring, giving it its name. The tea leaves are harvested in early spring, when they are still young and tender. It is during this period that the tea buds acquire their characteristic golden hue.

- Wilting: Leaves wilt slightly in the open air.
- Fixation: To maintain fresh scent and color.
- Drying: The tea is dried at low temperatures.
