Tea Story

These highly sought-after white tea buds are meticulously cultivated in Taimushan Town, Fuding City, and carefully hand-picked from the Fuding Dabai variety during the first spring harvest of the year. Also known as silver needles, the Baihao Yinzhen name is derived from the tiny silver hairs that beautifully coat the young tea leaves.

The fleshy buds are notably thick and exhibit a straight needle-shaped form, glistening with a silvery hue. The brewed buds display a delicate, bright, and uniform yellowish color, while the aroma offers a brisk and fresh scent with delightful floral nuances, characteristic of the Fuding Dabai variety. The palate presents a smooth, mellow, nectar-like flavor with no hint of astringency, concluding with a lightly floral aftertaste. The L-theanine in the white hair encourages an alert state of relaxation. This is a tea that demands to be savored and is a must-try for tea connoisseurs. Moreover, Baihao Yinzhen is exceptionally well-suited for long-term storage. When stored properly, this tea not only retains its quality but also develops increasingly complex flavors over time.developing more complex flavors over time.
