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).

Bi Tan Piao Xue
"Snow Falling on Jade-Green Pool" - a beautifully poetic name hides a high-quality green tea from the early spring harvest from Mount Meng Ding which was richly scented with the best autumn jasmine, even in a ratio of 5: 1 (5 kg of jasmine flowers were used per 1 kg of tea).
Jasmine flowers are also abundant in the tea itself (although they no longer add other aromas - they have an aesthetic effect and give meaning to the poetic name of the tea).
The tea is a distinctly jasmine-sweet fruit flavor with a rich aroma that lasts for many pours.
