Bai Hao Yin Zhen (Silver Needle White Tea), AA, 2026

A classic Fuding white tea from the spring of 2026, composed of intact bud tips with dense silvery hairs. The clear, light pistachio-colored infusion is distinguished by a subtle aroma. The flavor is delicate and silky, with notes of birch sap, blossoming almond, and fresh clover, with a lingering, cool, natural sweetness in the finish. Temperature: 75–80°C Ware: glass gaiwan, fine porcelain Tip: To preserve the hairs and the airy, floral sweetness, brew with unboiled, soft water using the fast-exposure method.
