The Masterful Crafting of Baihao Yinzhen Silver Needle White Tea

No chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides are used in the production of our teas. Click here to learn more about our commitment to sustainability and fair trade practices.

The journey of Baihao Yinzhen Silver Needle begins with the meticulous handpicking of tender buds during the early days of spring in the lush tea gardens of Fujian Province. Only the youngest, unopened buds are selected to ensure the finest quality. These buds are carefully laid out under natural sunlight to wither slowly, a process that preserves their silvery-white appearance and delicate flavor profile.

The farmers’ expertise ensures that the buds are handled with precision to maintain their natural shape and aroma. Unlike other teas, Silver Needle undergoes minimal processing to preserve its purity, making it one of the most sought-after teas in the world. This dedication to traditional craftsmanship creates a tea that is as beautiful as it is flavorful. Learn more about our commitment to quality on our About Us page.
