Description

China’s famous Silver Needle White Tea (Baihao Yinzhen) is regarded as the finest white tea in the world. Made exclusively from unopened, young silver tea buds, this tea is harvested for just two days each year during the Imperial Harvest in early spring.

Delicate and refined, Silver Needle boasts an aroma of freshly cut hay, a mellow, slightly sweet taste, and a pale golden liquor that shimmers in the light. Tricky to find, but worth every sip.
