Yong Xi Huo Qing first became available during the Ming Dynasty but it wasn't until Qing Dynasty that this Tea became well-known. It originates from Jing County in the western part of An Hui province, and legend has it that this Tea was originally processed using Tea leaves that were picked from a Jin Yin (Gold and Silver) Tea tree. It is so called because the all the leaves from this Tea tree were gold on one side, and silver on the other. The appearance of Yong Xi Huo Qing resembles Gunpowder Tea but it is actually a much higher quality Tea.
