This delicious tea captures the essence of the spring harvest. With the aroma of sweet cut hay and a pale light yellow liquor, the flavor is a blend of savory and sweet with a hint of stone fruit and honey.
Description
Among White teas, the Yin Zhen is the most highly prized as only the unopened top buds of the plant are used. This varietal is grown at an elevation of around 1600 meters in an area in the Fujian province known for producing some of the finest white teas in the world. The consistent size and delicate “hairs” demonstrate the mastery of its producers.

A classic. Really lovely, light, and flavorful. I get much more sweet than hay, but both are present. If you’re looking for a great, balanced white tea you can’t go wrong with this one. Very easy to drink.
