Yunnan Baihao Yinzhen Silver Needle

Baihao Yinzhen, also known as Silver Needle, is one of the most treasured styles of Chinese white tea. Traditionally, Baihao Yinzhen is closely associated with Fujian, China, but this unique version is made from a Yunnan-origin cultivar that was transplanted to Fujian and further hybridised, creating a distinctive expression of this classic tea.

Hand-picked from premium early spring single buds, this white tea is crafted using traditional white tea 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. Once brewed, the infusion is pale apricot-yellow, crystal clear, and beautifully delicate.

The aroma is fresh and elegant, with classic pekoe fragrance layered with soft honey, faint floral notes, and a gentle fruity sweetness. The taste is smooth, mellow, and refreshing, with a silky mouthfeel and a clean, naturally sweet aftertaste.

Made from 100% natural tea buds with no additives or blending, this Yunnan Baihao Yinzhen is a refined and graceful white tea for those who appreciate subtle complexity, purity, and a truly unique cultivar story.
