There are two legends behind Huang Jin Gui tea:
1. This tea comes from two seed which is given by Wang Denwei to Lin Ziqin on their wedding day. The plants that grew represents the prosperity of their families and ancestors and is also seen as a good omen for wealth, fertility, and future. The tea produced from these plant has a golden color and osmanthus fragrance because of this it is often given as a wedding gift. In the region of Anxi in Fujian province, there is a traditional custom that a newly-wed bride should bring “green” to her husband’s house. They believed that the Huang Dan plant is cultivated in more romantic fashion. The “green” usually comes in a form of shoots or sprouts of the plants.
2. In the early of Qing Dynasty, a retired general called “Long” lived in the mountain area of An-Xi, Fujian Province. Because of the constant mountain hunting under the sun and bad weathers his skin was tanned and then he gained the name “Oo-long” which means black dragon. When he was hunting he usually collects wild teas along the way. He would then cook the leaves when he returns to his home. The tea he made has a very special aroma which is different from all the other teas. The villagers were attracted to it and so they often visit Oolong to have his tea. One day, when he arrived home he was so tired from the mountain hunting and he forgot to cook the leaves. The next day, when he woke up, he found out that the leaves have already wilted. The wilted leaves produced an unusual fragrance and much more aromatic than his processed leaves. He tried to make a tea out of it and the taste was mellow and doesn't have bitterness in it. Excited, oolong called out the villagers and let them taste his tea. When they found out about the tea, they were amazed by it and asked Oolong how did he make it so they can try it as well. After having different experiments, the villagers made a different set of techniques on how to produce the tea and then imparted it to other villagers. In thanks to Oolong, the villagers decided to name the tea as “Oolong tea”, which later on has been famous and adopted by the next generations and up until the present.

Normally it starts in mid-April which is 7-10 days earlier than, and 12-18 days earlier than the picking of Tieguanyin Oolong tea. When the tea leaves started to sprout, tea farmers pick the shoots from the top leaves of the bush as they are just beginning to open. The timing of the picking is very important, young leaves tend to make bitter tastes and the older leaves produces a weaker flavor. The picked leaves of Huang Jin Gui Tea are hand processed and rolled. Which results that the taste of the tea has a combined full-bodied flavor with a wild mountain grass sweetness and freshness that can be found in young green teas.
