Yunnan Silver Needle White Tea

Each hand-picked bud is carefully processed to preserve its silvery down, creating a tea that is as visually striking as it is flavorful. The infusion unfolds with gentle floral notes and a subtle honeyed sweetness, evolving into mellow melon and stone fruit flavors with a smooth, lingering finish. This rare white tea comes from Yunnan’s Da Bai varietal, giving it a fuller, warmer profile than classic Fujian Silver Needle while maintaining white tea’s elegance.

Origin: Misty highlands of Yunnan, China, from the delicate Da Bai varietal.

Aroma: Subtle floral notes with a touch of fresh hay and light honeyed sweetness.

Appearance: Slender, silvery-white buds; the infusion yields a pale golden liquor, reflecting its pristine quality.

Taste: Smooth and mellow, with gentle hints of melon and stone fruit. The naturally sweet, clean finish makes it ideal for multiple infusions and mindful sipping.
