Guizhou Yin Zhen Organic
Silver Needles
Product code:
CSTB-37
Cultivated organically and produced as a traditional Yin Zhen, but coming from a wilder and higher altitude terroir in the province of Guizhou. This Chinese white tea, made purely of downy buds, is instantly visually pleasing.
The rich, lively and silky liqueur fills the mouth with its fruity and vegetal (straw, mushroom) aromas.
Long and delicate, its finish is floral (camomile) and refreshing.
