Yunnan Baihao Yinzhen Silver Needle – Honeyed Hybrid-Cultivar White TeaBaihao Yinzhen, also known as Silver Needle, is one of the most treasured styles of Chinese white tea. Traditionally, it's closely associated with Fujian, China, but this unique version is made from a Yunnan-origin cultivar that was transplanted to Fujian and further hybridized, creating a distinctive expression of this classic tea. Hand-picked from premium early spring single buds, this white tea is crafted using traditional methods without frying or rolling. The tender buds are naturally withered, gently spread and carefully dried at low temperature to preserve their original character, delicate aroma and smooth taste. The dry buds are plump, straight and covered with fine silvery-white pekoe hairs, giving them a bright, glossy silver appearance. Made from 100% natural tea buds with no additives or blending, it's a pure expression of fine white tea. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItThis refined and graceful white tea is perfect for those who appreciate subtle complexity, purity and a truly unique cultivar story.
How to EnjoyBrew it in a clear glass to watch the silvery buds dance, or in a gaiwan for several gentle infusions. Savor it plain, perhaps with fresh fruit or delicate pastries. Fresh, mellow and honeyed, Yunnan Baihao Yinzhen is Silver Needle with a unique story to tell. |

A little steeping tipLet just-boiled water cool for a minute or two — water that’s too hot can turn delicate leaves bitter. Good leaves give a lovely second cup, too.
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.
