About this tea

Silver Needle Jasmine Tea (银针茉莉花茶,Yín Zhēn Mò Lì Huā Chá) is a luxurious Chinese scented tea that combines the delicate Silver Needle tea with the enchanting fragrance of jasmine blossoms. This exquisite blend offers a smooth, velvety texture and a sweet, floral aroma that captivates the senses. Crafted using a centuries-old scenting process, jasmine flowers are layered with tea leaves overnight, infusing them with their natural essence. The result is a refined, aromatic cup that embodies the harmony of nature and tradition in Chinese tea culture.

Nestled in the heart of Heng County, the world's largest jasmine-producing region, Xin Cheng Tea Factory (Xin Cheng Cha Chang) has been crafting exceptional jasmine teas for generations. Their dedication to quality and traditional methods shines through in every batch. We've been impressed by their commitment to sustainable practices and their deep understanding of jasmine tea production. The factory's expertise in blending tea leaves with fragrant jasmine blossoms results in a harmonious and elegant tea that truly captures the essence of this renowned tea-growing area. It's a pleasure to work with a team so passionate about their craft and preserving the authentic taste of premium Chinese jasmine tea.

Our Silver Needle Jasmine Tea showcases the pinnacle of jasmine tea craftsmanship. The dry leaves present a striking sight: plump, downy buds covered in silvery-white hairs, a hallmark of high-quality silver needle white tea. When steeped, the pale golden liquor releases a captivating floral aroma that fills the room, promising a sensory experience like no other.

This exquisite tea undergoes an impressive seven rounds of scenting, a labor-intensive process that infuses the tea with an exceptionally rich and long-lasting jasmine fragrance. The result is a tea with a luxuriously smooth texture and a taste profile that perfectly balances the natural sweetness of silver needle white tea with the delicate floral notes of jasmine. Each sip offers a refined, velvety mouthfeel with a lingering sweetness and a clean, refreshing finish.

Harvested in early spring, this tea features only the most tender buds from the season's first flush. The cool, misty climate of the tea gardens during this time contributes to the tea's robust flavor and aromatic complexity.
