Where this green tea comes from has a very long history of tea production, which dated back in the Lu Yu era. But the name "Yu Hua Cha" only appeared around the 60's and was officially confirmed in 1959. This green tea is made from very fine needles (tips). Like most of the high quality chinese green teas, the infusion of Yu Hua Cha has a very light greenish/cream/yellowish appearance, which is almost close to the colour of water. But it has a very rich taste and smooth texture. To my opinion, its mild smoky character reminds me of Mao Jian, and its smoothness and sweetness from Biluochun.
