BAI HAO YIN ZHEN

Origin：Ningde, Fujian, China

Meaning：White hair silver needle (bai hao yin zhen)

Taste： Woodruff, green apple, lavender

This Yin Zhen reigns supreme, a crown jewel from Taimushan, the cradle of white tea. Tiny buds, barely kissed with fuzz, unfurl whispers of spice, dancing on a crisp, starchy base. Summery echoes—woodruff cordial, horchata, green apple slices, a touch of orange—lead to a lingering, luxurious sweetness of lavender and rose. Taimushan's white gold, worth every ounce of the search.
