Silver
Needle White Tea
One
of the rarest and most beautiful of all varieties, white tea is a specialty
of Fujian province. The highest quality white teas are called Bai
Hao Yin Zhen ("White Hair Silver Needles") - produced
from large, unopened sun-dried tea buds that are covered with thousands
of tiny white hairs (click photo for detail). The unique flavor is sweet,
savory and smooth. A rare and healthful treasure indeed.
