Jin Zhen — Golden Needle
金针红茶
Red Tea
Description
Pure golden buds only, picked at dawn. The most delicate red tea — naturally sweet, honeyed, no sugar needed. A meditation in a cup.
Why This Tea Is Special
Jin Zhen — Golden Needle expresses the character of Yunnan Province: 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.
