Bai Hao Yin Zhen, also known as Silver Needle, a highly sought afer white tea made in China’s Northern Fujian province and only harvested for a couple of days each Spring, boasts young tender buds freshly plucked right before opening. Silver Needis is characterized by its unique needle like appearance covered with small white hair on the bud. This white tea dazzles with its savory aroma, rich body and smooth delicate cup.
It is processed through traditional scientific techniques by adopting Fuding big white tea and big pekoe tea as its raw material. It is picked in early spring for a few days out of the whole year and only the buds are plucked. The flavor is strong and durable and its taste is fresh and delicious with buttery, nutty flavor. Said to have a more pronounced flavor, though also delicate like other white teas, Yin Zhen is arguably the finest of white teas.
It is a white tea and speculation is that white tea could be the healthiest of all the teas available, because of the rich antioxidants and other minerals that brings an abundance of health benefits. It could cure urticaria effectively and also has an effect on reducing fever, removing internal heat, adjusting blood pressure, detoxifying and resisting radiation.
Company description not available.
Nice and interesting tea. Dry leaves smell of hay and honey. Washed leaves first smell a little smokey and somewhat savoury, with a weird resemblance to Dutch smoked eel. After some time the smell is more honeyish and vegetal. The liquor is nicely smooth and honeyish. Leaves are surprisingly well-oxidized for s silver needle and this tea doesn’t have that very crisp and vegetal asparagus/spinachy profile of some other silver needles. It leans more towards darker white tea types such as moonlight white.
This is a superb white tea. The aroma is intoxicating!
First brew yields a delicately sweet and vegetal liquor, that has a grainy/rice like overtone. Subsequent brews lose the graininess but remain sweet and grassy, and so so delicate and smooth. Later brews can become astringent, but never bitter.
