2025 Spring Yunnan Silver Bud White Tea

Description Sourced directly from a small family in Jingu. Large bud varietal assamica  harvested in early spring from Yunnan’s large-leaf tea trees, this Silver Needle offers a bold and expressive take on white tea. The dry leaf and initial rinse release a lively, zippy aroma that immediately hints at the depth to come. In the cup, this tea is robust and full, with a notably thick, oily mouthfeel from the very first infusion. Creamy tones are balanced by a bright, energetic lift, while avoiding the sharp sourness often found in lighter white teas. The profile is rich, rounded, and deeply satisfying. Compared to the more floral and ethereal styles of Fuding, this Yunnan Silver Needle leans deeper and warmer—less about high flowers, more about texture, body, and quiet power. A white tea for those who appreciate substance as much as finesse.
