平水珠茶是浙江獨有的傳統名茶，由日鑄茶發展而來，素以形似珍珠、色澤綠潤、香高味醇的特有風韻而著稱於世。幾百年來，外銷不衰，成為中國主要出口綠茶産品。

Pingshui Gunpowder is a unique traditional tea of Zhejiang. It is developed from Japanese tea. It is famous for its pearl shape, green color, savoury and mellow. For hundreds of years, export has never been cut off and it has become a major export of green tea products in China.

　　作為紹興東南的一個著名集鎮，平水早在唐代就已經是茶葉加工貿易的集散地了。珠茶多集中在平水進行精製加工、轉運出口，因此，浙江所産的珠茶在國際貿易中逐漸以“平水珠茶”相稱，一直沿用至今。18世紀中期，平水珠茶在英國倫敦市場上的售價每磅高達十先令六便士，茶價之高，不亞於珠寶，所以又被稱為“綠色珍珠”。1843~1894年的50年間，平水珠茶平均每年出口20萬擔，最高達25萬擔，為中國綠茶出口創造了歷史的最高紀錄。

As a famous market town of Southeast Shaoxing, Pingshui was already the center of tea processing and trade in Tang dynasty. Gunpowder is mostly concentrated in Pingshui for refined processing and export. Therefore, the Gunpowder produced in Zhejiang has gradually been called "Pingshui Gunpowder "in international trade, and has been used so far. In the mid eighteenth Century, the price of Pingshui Gunpowder in the London market was as high as ten shillings and six pence per pound. The tea price was no less than jewelry, so it was also called "Green Pearl". In the 50 years of 1843~1894, Pingshui Gunpowder exported an average of 200 thousand loads per year, with a maximum of 250 thousand loads, creating the highest historical record for Chinese green tea exports.

　　1984年9月，在西班牙馬德里舉行的第23屆世界優質食品評選會上，特級珠茶榮獲金質獎。此前，在1981年獲國家優質産品銀質獎。

In September, 1984, Super Gunpowder won the gold award at the 23rd world High Quality Food Selection Meeting held in Madrid, Spain. Previously, it won the national good quality products silver medal in 1981.
