2020 Fuding Silver Needles White Tea (Bai Hao Yin Zhen)

The finest Silver Needle (Bai Hao Yin Zhen) is crafted exclusively from the tender early spring buds of the tea plant, celebrated for their abundant silvery down and extraordinary refinement. Sourced from the Fuding, the revered birthplace of white tea, and traditionally aged in Fuding for five years, this exceptional tea offers remarkable depth, elegance, and complexity.

The liquor brews to a luminous pale amber, very creamy, unfolding layers of delicate floral fragrance with notes of hay, pear, papaya, and soft vanilla. The finish is naturally sweet, and lingering, evoking the graceful character of fine white wine with a subtle touch of cognac-like fruitiness. Fine tea hairs suspended in the cup, known as hao xiang (“fragrance of the silvery down”), are a hallmark of premium Silver Needle, contributing to its rich aroma and beautifully nuanced aftertaste.

To preserve its delicate nature, the tea comes packed in a sleek aluminum alloy jar featuring a modern magnetic lid. It offers maximum environmental protection, making it the perfect choice for tea collectors or as a luxury gift.
