Bai Hao Yin Zhen Silver Needle – Premium Fujian White TeaBai Hao Yin Zhen Silver Needle is classified among China's top ten superior teas. It's grown and produced in the northern district of Fujian Province, China, and has long been a beloved Chinese favorite — a fine treasure the Western world is only beginning to fully appreciate. Picked during the April harvest, our Silver Needle is a premium white tea made from young, downy buds. Minimal processing preserves their delicate character, creating a refined tea-drinking experience with a naturally sweet taste similar to dried apricots and a light, woodsy fragrance that complements its gentle body. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItSilver Needle is one of the most prized white teas in the world, and this premium grade shows why. Its silvery buds brew into a pale, golden cup with a sweetness and finesse that make every sip feel special.
How to EnjoyBrew it gently in a clear glass or gaiwan to watch the silvery needles float and slowly sink, and enjoy several infusions. Savor it plain, perhaps with fresh fruit or delicate pastries. It makes an elegant gift for tea connoisseurs. Delicate, sweet and truly refined, Bai Hao Yin Zhen Silver Needle is a white tea treasure. |

A little steeping tipStart at 3 min and taste — go up to 4 min for a fuller flavour. For a stronger cup, add a little more tea rather than steeping longer.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
