Jasmine Silver Needle (aka Yin Zen)

Buena Vida Tea Jasmine Silver Needle comes from China’s Fujian province – known worldwide as one of the finest and most prestigious tea regions. Trees were discovered in the late 1800’s in Fujian that produced downy tea buds with a unique silver color, perfectly suited for the manufacture of white teas. These tender buds – the highest grade of tea – are hand plucked, withered and layered on top of jasmine blossoms, thereby infusing the tea with the fragrance of the flower. This delicately aromatic tea has notes of jasmine, honey, wicker and grass with a light and crisp character filled with floral and citrus notes.

This elegant tea can be enjoyed all day long but is best enjoyed in the late afternoon or evening when paired with milk chocolate, fresh berries, sponge cake or cucumber tea sandwiches.

Jasmine Silver Needle’s distinctive light liquor develops while steeping to its pale silver color. Each of your senses will be tantalized to this truly elevated tea experience. These leaves can be steeped 2-3 times and the flavor will be perfect every time with no enhancements needed. This ​Chinese tea ​is a true celebration of all the good things in life!
