　　Jiǔwǎn Silky Tea is produced in Jiǔwǎnxi Town, home to China's top rafting destination — the Jiǔwǎnxi Adventure Rafting Scenic Area. The area enjoys a mild climate, abundant rainfall, ample sunlight, and soil rich in zinc, selenium, and other trace elements beneficial to human health, making it highly suitable for tea cultivation. With a long history of tea growing, the tea was once served as a tribute to the imperial court during the Qing Dynasty’s Qianlong era. Its leaves are exceptionally tender, and when plucked delicately, the fine buds snap with a unique break, revealing a mesmerizing sight of countless silvery threads. Delighted by this, Emperor Qianlong named it "Silky Tea."
