Yixing Yangxian Tea

Yixing Yangxian Tea is a geographical indication certification trademark.

　　Yixing is one of China’s long-renowned ancient tea regions and has now become the largest tea-producing area in Jiangsu Province. In the mountainous areas of Yixing, verdant peaks stretch out and green belts wind around, creating a vibrant hundred-mile tea zone filled with fragrance and vitality that refreshes the mind and spirit — earning it the title “Tea Oasis.” “Before the Emperor tastes Yangxian tea, no herb dares bloom first.” Yixing Yangxian Zisun tea has long been as famous as Hangzhou Longjing and Suzhou Biluochun, and was listed as an imperial tribute tea.

　　The renowned Yangxian Tanggong Tea, which enjoyed fame for over a thousand years, is today represented by the national-level famous teas “Xingxi Yunpian” and “Yangxian Xueya.” Xingxi Yunpian features a broad, flat, and straight appearance with emerald green color and visible fine hairs. When brewed, the tea liquor is clear, bright green, and the leaves are tender, bright green, and intact. Yangxian Xueya is slender, delicate, and graceful in shape, covered with silvery down, resembling young buds dusted with snow. When steeped, the tea has a glossy, bright green liquor, and the leaves are fine, even, and tender like sparrow tongues. Both teas offer an elegant aroma, rich flavor, and a sweet aftertaste.
