Known as Silver Needle tea, Bai Hao Yin Zhen is an exemplary Chinese white tea harvested only in spring time and prized for its unusual composition of only voluptuous tea buds picked in the first flush of spring. This gorgeous tea gets its name from the fuzzy, silver needle-like appearance of the tea buds, the youngest part of the camellia sinensis plant also called tips or needles. The new growth for a new year, these buds are bursting with all the best parts of tea: caffeine, theanine, and polyphenols. 

We often use the word delicate to describe white teas, but we don't mean delicate like fine porcelain - we mean delicate like a ballerina's graceful dancing. High quality Bai Hao Yin Zhen (and other white teas) will dance across your tongue in a variety of complex combinations, from sweet hay and flowers to fruit and vanilla. Our Bai Hao Yin Zhen has a rounded vegetal and fruity infusion. Earthy straw tones quickly bloom into a delightful florality and natural sweetness in this intricate infusion perfect for welcoming spring.
