Silver Needle White Tea (Bai Hao Yinzhen)
Hailing from the Fujian Province of China, Bai Hao Yinzhen, commonly called Silver Needle, is the highest grade of white tea available. Bright, fleshy and covered with tiny silver/white fuzz, Silver Needle has a uniform shape with no stems or leaves. Silver Needle is a prized delicacy, as only the finest delicate top buds are used in production.
The sweet buds used in Silver Needle Tea are picked for less than one month throughout the year, between late March and early April primarily from the Large White tea tree, however it is known to come from a few other sources as well. Silver Needle is delicate with a fresh fragrance and a pale yellow brew.
