Junshan silver needle belongs to yellow tea. More precisely, it belongs to the bud tea in yellow tea, that is, it is made of a single bud without leaves. Tea monograph "Junshan Silver Needle" records that its bud head is thick, full of velvet, golden and bright; After brewing, the bud tip is facing the sky, showing the spectacle of "three ups and three downs". Junshan Yinzhen has won many gold medals at home and abroad, and ranks among the top ten famous teas in China with Longjing Tea and Wuyi Rock Tea.

But it is the treasure of yellow tea-the yellow needle of Junshan Silver Needle, which was only produced in Junshan Island of Dongting Lake in the past, and there was no market batch. At the end of 2004, the provincial tea company, together with Yueyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative and Junshan Park, integrated the "Junshan" trademark, newly established Junshan Silver Needle Tea Company, and cooperated with Hunan Agricultural University, Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences and other scientific research units to develop a series of new products of Junshan Silver Needle and Green Needle.

The traditional Junshan silver needle and yellow needle need a certain degree of fermentation, which belongs to yellow tea. Junshan silver needle green needle belongs to non-fermented green tea, and the flavor and taste of the two are far from each other. Because of the wide sources of raw materials, green needles are similar to green tea technology, and soon formed large-scale production. In the past five years, the consumption of green tea has been booming, and the sales of silver needles and green needles in Junshan have continued to rise, covering up the "light" of yellow needles in the market.
