Etymology: “Bai Hao Yinzhen” translates to “White Hair Silver Needle” Other Names: Silver Needle, Silver Tips, White Buds Origin: China, Fujian Province Harvest: Spring 2011 Taste: Delicate, extremely sweet, with very little vegetal or peppery characteristics. Behind the Leaf: This tea is made up of fleshy, silver-colored budsets covered with tiny white hairs or "down." It is estimated that more than ten thousand hand-picked buds are needed to produce just 1 kilogram of this tea. This tea was picked in early spring before the buds were able to open into leaves. The buds are dried in a shaded area with good air circulation, then packaged and shipped. Silver needle white tea can typically stand up to 2 or 3 steepings. Because of their delicate nature, these silver needle buds should be steeped in water that is 150-160F for 1-2 minutes.
