Although the same kind of tea trees are also planted around Dongting Lake, where Junshan Island is located, those teas should not be called Junshan Yinzhen.[1] The tea resembles the White tea Yinzhen known as Bai Hao Yinzhen. Junshan Yinzhen,[2] allegedly the preferred tea of Chairman Mao Zedong, is a rare tea sometimes sold as White tea.
