Jasmine Silver Needle is a type of floral tea that combines the fragrance of jasmine flowers with high-quality white tea. Its base tea is typically **Bai Hao Yin Zhen (Silver Needle)**, a premium white tea known for its slender, needle-like tea buds and rich floral aroma. By repeatedly scenting the tea with fresh jasmine flowers, the tea absorbs their fragrance, creating a unique jasmine silver needle with a fresh, fragrant aroma and a smooth, lingering aftertaste.
The base tea, Bai Hao Yin Zhen, features long, needle-like tea buds covered in silvery white hairs, giving it a high level of visual appeal. The aroma of Jasmine Silver Needle blends the sweet, fresh fragrance of jasmine with the delicate, light aroma of white tea. The jasmine scent is pronounced yet natural, not overpowering or artificial, while the white tea's subtle "hao" (fuzz) aroma complements the floral fragrance, creating a complex and layered bouquet.
In terms of taste, Jasmine Silver Needle is fresh, sweet, and subtly floral. The tea is light and smooth, with a clear, transparent brew and a lingering sweetness that doesn't overwhelm. It's perfect for those who enjoy a delicate and refreshing flavor profile. The tea liquor is pale yellow or light golden in color, clear and bright, while the leaves retain the integrity of the original Silver Needle with a soft, yellowish hue and a flexible texture.
Actual colors of the tea may vary somewhat from pictured. Purchase the smallest amount to try before purchasing larger amounts.
