produced using only the most tender tea buds from the first flush of Da Bai
Great White) tea tree. Bai Hao Yin Zhen is particularly valuable for its
anti-toxin and cooling properties to help to decrease body heat. The production
of white tea is very different to green tea. Firstly the leaves come from a
special varietal tea bush called Narcissus or chaicha bushes. Secondly the
leaves are not steamed or pan-fired as is the case in green tea. These leaves
are dried and withered in the sun . If mechanical drying is required the leaves
are baked (not fired) at temperatures less that 40’C. Thirdly only special ‘two
leaves and a bud’ are selected. These leaves must show a very light green
almost gray white color and be covered with velvet peach fuzz down. The ideal
is a leaf or two being wrapped around a newly developing shoot. These shoots
are plucked and segregated from the rest of the leaf being plucked. These
leaves are then naturally withered and the painstaking process on final manual
selection occurs.. About Bai Hao Yin Zhen Tea This tea is from the home of
white teas, Fujian's Fu Ding county. Bai Hao Yin Zhen is hand-plucked in the
first two weeks of March and made using century old techniques. The flavor of
this tea is light, sweet and pleasing with velvety, smooth liquor that is the
characteristic of a silver needle white tea. Our Bai Hao Yin Zhen is a very
high-grade white tea, so the flavor and the texture of the tea will be more
apparent than in more common grades. Enjoy Bai Hao Yin Zhen on a quiet

and is picked during the spring before the buds open to preserve its
tenderness. Exquisite and delicate, the tea produces a very pale yellow brew
and has a fresh, sweet fragrance with traces of citrus. This tea has high
concentrations of polyphenols (antioxidants that help fight against
cancer-causing radicals and heart disease). Steep the leaves in a tall glass to
