Organic White Silver Needle Tea - Bai Hao Yinzhen
Silver needle is the rarest and most spectacular of the white teas. Early in the spring, the individual leaf buds are picked before opening and carefully handcrafted into Yinzhen tea. Each bud is covered with white downy hair and the tea is known for its buttery, nutty flavor. Packed with antioxidants and low in caffeine - a very healthy tea.
Reader Reviews
I have tried many kinds of tea, and quite honestly don't like many. However, the tea I tried before wasn't fresh. I know now, because I bought this tea. Potent and aromatic, just opening the small twist-tied bag shows just what quality this tea is.
1.6 oz for $17 may seem incredibly pricy for some, but honestly, you won't go back to drinking the cheap stuff ever again. Also, you don't need much to make a couple usable infusions.
Flowery and light, this tea smells, looks, and tastes fresh in every cup. It would be easy to overload with the amount of tea used... so try no more than a pinch for a 12 oz cup. You may have to wait a few minutes, but the result will be fine.
This supplier and this tea will not dissappoint. Fast shipping, excellent quality.
I will be buying my tea from them from now on.
