About This Tea
What does Yin Zhen taste like?
This exquisite Silver Needle white tea, comprised solely of delicate early spring buds, offers a uniquely subtle yet rich profile. Expect a velvety texture on the palate, carrying earthy undertones wi. It leans earthy, floral and velvety.
How should I brew Yin Zhen?
Water around 75–85 °C (167–185 °F). In a mug, steep 3–5 min. For gongfu, use 4–5 g per 100 ml, 20–40 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. Pretty forgiving. Oversteeping by a bit won't ruin it the way it would with a green.
Where does Yin Zhen come from?
Grown in Fujian, China. This batch is from the Spring harvest.
How much does Yin Zhen cost?
Starts at $13.00 from Dobrá Tea, or about $0.46/g. A 28g package gets you around 5 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $2.76 per session. Explore more white teas on Teadar.
