Silver Needles White Tea (Bai Hao Yin Zhen) – 50g

Delicate, rare, and exceptionally refined, Silver Needles (Yin Hao / Bai Hao Yin Zhen) is one of the most prized styles of white tea in China. Hand-harvested in Yunnan Province, this tea is made only from the youngest spring buds—each one covered in fine silvery down, giving the leaves their signature soft, shimmering appearance.

When brewed, Yunnan Silver Needles produces a pale golden infusion with a smooth, clean body and subtle sweetness. Expect elegant notes of wildflower honey, fresh hay, melon, and a lingering creamy finish. This is a high-grade white tea that feels calming, pure, and beautifully restorative.
