A delicate scenting of a high-grade Yin Zhen (Silver Needle) with the scent of jasmine flowers creates this savory white. Harvested in Fujian Province early in the spring, the buds are slightly oxidized to make then more absorbent of the scent of fresh jasmine flowers. The result is a very soothing cup, a tea once available only to emperors is now widely enjoyed. Our tea is made by a tea maker whose specializes in making jasmine teas.
