　　In ancient times, Taoist alchemists referred to lead oxide as "yellow sprout" (黄芽), as while lead appears black on the outside, it harbors a golden essence within—the so-called "golden flower," which is the refined core of lead. Similarly, yellow sprout tea represents the finest essence of tea leaves and is the highest-grade offering among Mengding teas. It features a bright yellow hue, with golden-hued buds, a pure and verdant aroma, a rich and fresh taste, and a clear, yellow-golden liquor. The infusion is bright and yellowish, with a deliciously mellow and sweet aftertaste, and the leaf base consists entirely of tender, uniformly yellow sprouts in neat, pale yellow hues.

　　Shihua — Its name originates from ancient tea nomenclature where "stone" (石) was used to name this tea, referred to as the "peerless flower with the fragrance of stone marrow sticking to it." Its flat, straight, and elegant silver buds are fresh and glossy green, producing a yellow-green liquor with a pure and fresh aroma, and a sweet, lingering taste.
