Harvested south of the Yangtze River, this premier connoisseur grade of white tea is named for the silver downy hairs that cover the young, unopened buds.

Walking down the Yangtze River, you pick a young, unopened bud. The unblemished silver leaf is refreshingly free from the taint of civilization. Return to the state of nature and enjoy this tea for a beautiful, gentle experience.

Silver needle (bai hao yinzhen) is sorted to ensure uniformity with no stems or leaves, and is primarily picked between the middle of March to early April (before the rains). Carefully blended and hand-selected in small batches (2 kg per blending cycle), we balance the nuanced white tea notes with the slow release of tannins - which contribute to the drinkers' understanding of flavour - using the structure of the notes as guideposts.

MASTER BLENDER TASTING NOTES
Master Blender Tasting Notes Underline
It is important to use fresh, cold water (use reverse osmosis, low mineral water) that has a high oxygen content with white teas - particularly teas of single estate varietal. Infuse for 4 minutes, followed by a second steeping for 6 minutes at 83°C (181°F). Best drunk in the morning, when your palate is fresh.
