Introduction
Baihao Yinzhen, also known as Silver Needle, is one of China's most prestigious white teas, originating from the Fujian Province. This tea is harvested from the Da Bai tea trees, specifically using only the young, tender buds. Silver Needle is renowned for its delicate, needle-like appearance, which is covered in fine white hairs. The flavor is subtle, with a light, sweet, and floral taste that leaves a refreshing aftertaste. The production of Baihao Yinzhen involves minimal processing – the buds are carefully handpicked, withered, and dried in the sun, preserving their natural essence and purity.
