Huang Jin Gui originated a little later than the more famous Tie Guan Yin – only in the 19th century. According to legend, the first bushes of this tea with longer yellowish leaves were donated by a Taoist to the wedding of the newlyweds from the Yan and Wei families, which is considered a very generous and good gift. The tea from these shrubs had such a bright golden color, a wonderful taste and, most importantly, an aroma reaching the sky that it was immediately given another name – Huang Dan or “Golden Excellence”. The leaves are processed according to Tie Guan Yin technology, but the variety is different. The leaf is finer and mainly smaller (they are no longer ‘dragonfly heads’ but rather smaller balls).
