The name Jin Zhen (金针, “golden needle”) comes from the long, golden shape of its dried leaves, a sign of high quality within the classification system for Dian Hong, or “Yunnan Red Teas.” Technically, Jin Zhen represents the top of the line in this region, made exclusively from buds that produce a bright red-amber infusion and an intense, sweet aromatic profile.
