Chinese White teas are light and delicately smooth. They are the least processed tea, undergoing just steaming and drying, leaving it close to
its natural state. Recent studies have shown that these teas contains more cancer-fighting antioxidants than any other teas.
The finest and most delicate of White teas. our Bai Hao Yin Zhen is produced using only the most tender tea buds from the first flush of Da Bai
(Great White) tea tree. Bai Hao Yin Zhen is particularly valuable for its anti-toxin and cooling properties to help to decrease body heat.
The production of white tea is very different to green tea. Firstly the leaves come from a special varietal tea bush called Narcissus or chaicha
bushes. Secondly the leaves are not steamed or pan-fired as is the case in green tea. These leaves are dried and withered in the sun . If mechanical
drying is required the leaves are baked (not fired) at temperatures less that 40’C. Thirdly only special ‘two leaves and a bud’ are selected.
These leaves must show a very light green almost gray white color and be covered with velvet peach fuzz down. The ideal is a leaf or two being wrapped
around a newly developing shoot. These shoots are plucked and segregated from the rest of the leaf being plucked. These leaves are then naturally withered
and the painstaking process on final manual selection occurs..
About Bai Hao Yin Zhen Tea
This tea is from the home of white teas, Fujian's Fu Ding county. Bai Hao Yin Zhen is hand-plucked in the first two weeks of March and made using century
old techniques. The flavor of this tea is light, sweet and pleasing with velvety, smooth liquor that is the characteristic of a silver needle white tea.
Our Bai Hao Yin Zhen is a very high-grade white tea, so the flavor and the texture of the tea will be more apparent than in more common grades. Enjoy Bai
Hao Yin Zhen on a quiet afternoon.
White tipped Silver Needle is one of the highest quality white teas, and is picked during the spring before the buds open to preserve its tenderness.
Exquisite and delicate, the tea produces a very pale yellow brew and has a fresh, sweet fragrance with traces of citrus. This tea has high concentrations
of polyphenols (antioxidants that help fight against cancer-causing radicals and heart disease). Steep the leaves in a tall glass to get the most out of this
tea's great show and taste.
This particular Chinese white tea holds a very graceful form. The leaves are even, strong, straight, and full with fine white hairs. The Bai Hao Yin Zhen is
only made with buds, which are harvested from the Fuding Da Bai Hao and the Zheng He Da Bai Hao trees. The liquor holds a light apricot color and the taste is
fresh and delicate with a pleasent high fragrance.
