Yin Zhen

Description

Meaning “Silver Needles” , this tea is refined with its leaves being covered in what look like silver needles with a silver tip lending to a dignified appearance, yielding a crystalline, pale mandarin liquor, silky and smooth with a subtle, fresh, yet poignant fragrance of fresh buds. Notes of honeysuckle and fresh apricots abound with a long, gentle, grassy finish. It instills in the palate, harmonizing fragrances, freshness and warmth.

Yin Zhen requires delicate handling owing to its disposition. It offers its best flavor at 5 grams in 200ml of water at 70 degrees Celsius, steeped for 15 minutes.
