Bai Hao Yin Zhen — Silver Needle
白毫银针
White Tea
Description
The crown jewel of white teas. Only the single downy bud — plucked before it opens. Silver-white hairs shimmer in the light. Pale gold liquor: melon, bamboo dew, mountain air. Imperial tea.
Why This Tea Is Special
Bai Hao Yin Zhen — Silver Needle expresses the character of Fuding / Zhenghe: careful processing, clear terroir, and a profile that unfolds infusion after infusion. This is a tea meant for an attentive session rather than a quick cup.
