Silver Needle White Tea（2025 March)
Our Silver Needle White Tea is both delicate and lovely. What's more, the silvery tea buds yield a light pale liquor and has a mellow, delicate and gently naturally sweet flavour that sharpens the senses without overwhelming the tongue. Notes of hay, dried meadow flowers and just a hint of honeyed melon aftertaste combine with a mellow velvety finish and easy-to-drink texture. Also known as Bai Hao Yin Zhen or White Downy Silver Needle, this tea is made from the soft, downy buds of Da Bai or the large leaf tea varietal. Notably, it is picked once a year at the end of March and allowed to slowly dry under the sun. The delicate sweet taste and the lovely needle shaped leaves of this white tea are admired by tea connoisseurs worldwide. As a result, this exquisite Silver Needle comes from the Nine Peaks Mountains in Funding City, Fujian Province. On the palate, the remote location reaches an altitude of 1000m and the slightly acidic soil is outstanding for growing tea. The distinctive terrain where the tea is growing is in partial shade of other trees and adds to the exceptionally pure flavour of this white tea. Despite being very cooling, this tea is easier on the stomach than green teas, and even a long infusion doesn’t extract bitterness from the delicate leaves. Above all, silver Needle is used to treat inflammation, fevers, skin disease and dental problems in traditional Chinese medicine, and is also known for an abundance of antioxidants.
