White Silver Needle Fuding Imperial – Bai Hao Yin Zhen from Fujian
White Silver Needle Fuding Imperial is a refined white tea from Fuding in Fujian, China. Silver Needle, also known as Bai Hao Yin Zhen, is made from young tea buds recognizable by their fine silvery-white hairs.
The flavor profile is floral and gently sweet, with soft notes of honey. The delicate buds produce a light and refined infusion with subtle floral nuances, natural sweetness, and a smooth finish.
Fuding in the Chinese province of Fujian is closely associated with the traditional production of white tea and is particularly renowned for its Silver Needle. Thanks to minimal processing, the delicate and aromatic character of the young tea buds is beautifully preserved.
