Gold Sprouting Green

One of Anhui's famous spring teas, Huang Jin Ya , "means yellow gold sprouting".  What a beautiful name.  The leaves are quite striking and unusual in appearance.  They are very yellow.  The brewed tea follows with gentle sweet notes.  One of the favorites at the staff cupping.
