Bai Hao Yin Zhen (Silver Needles) — Elite Pressed White Tea, 100g

Bai Hao Yin Zhen (Silver Needles) is the "champagne" of the tea world and the highest grade in the white tea classification. It consists exclusively of selected, very first spring buds covered with thick silvery down. The 100-gram cake format is ideal for Yunnan raw materials: pressing allows the tea to gain even more depth, honey sweetness, and noble maturity over time.

Taste and Aroma

Silver Needles offer one of the most sophisticated and purest flavor profiles:

• Aroma: Delicate, with notes of a blooming garden, spring honey, white flowers, and a light touch of fresh hay.
• Flavor Profile: Velvety, sweetish, and weightless. Notes of nectar, apricot, and a light berry acidity intertwine in the taste.
• Aftertaste: Long-lasting, clean, and refreshing, with a distinct natural sweetness.
