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. This tea is a very good daily tea.
