Silver Needle/Bai Hao Yin Zhen, white tea

For this unique speciality from the Chinese district of Fujian only unopened buds are picked and processed. If possible, this tea should be infused in a glass pot. After a short time something terrific starts to happen: the silvery leaves sink to the bottom and shortly afterwards straighten up and "stand" erect. An exciting, velvety-soft and delicate flavour paired with an ivory-coloured, fragrant infusion. An enchanting experience.

Preparation guidelines:

Use 10g of tea (approx 8 tsp) for 1 l of water at the temperature of 900C. Allow to infuse for 5 minutes. Strain and serve.

Country of origin: China
