Pair with
Dehua porcelain, a clean gaiwan, or glass teaware that keeps the flavor clear.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
What is Silver Needle (Baihao Yinzhen) white tea?
Silver Needle is the highest grade of white tea, made exclusively from unopened buds covered in fine white hairs. It originates from Fuding and Zhenghe in Fujian Province. It has a delicate, sweet, honey-like flavor with floral notes.
What are the health benefits of white tea?
White tea is minimally processed, retaining high levels of antioxidants (catechins and polyphenols). Studies suggest it may support skin health, cardiovascular health, and immune function. It has less caffeine than green or black tea.
Can white tea be aged?
Yes! Aged white tea is increasingly popular. When stored properly, white tea transforms over 3-10+ years — developing deeper, honey-like sweetness and medicinal qualities. In Chinese tradition, aged white tea (old Shoumei or Baimudan) is valued for its soothing properties.
