Yin Zhen Silver Needles Tea

Yin Zhen, known as Silver Needle, is one of the most revered white teas in the world. Composed exclusively of young unopened buds, carefully hand-picked in early spring, this tea is the purest expression of the Camellia sinensis plant. The long, downy silver buds unfurl gently in hot water, releasing a pale champagne liquor with delicate floral sweetness and a soft, lingering finish. The flavour is refined and ethereal — light honey notes, fresh meadow florals, and a whisper of melon. Elegant, serene and naturally low in caffeine, Yin Zhen is a tea for quiet mornings and unhurried afternoons. This is white tea in its most graceful form.

Price range: $28.00 through $164.00
