2011 Wild White Tip Needle 白毫银针（野生黄岗）

Description

The 2011 Wild White Tip Needle (白毫银针) is a premium Chinese tea produced from the wild tea trees grown in the Yellow Gorge (黄岗) region of China. This tea is made entirely of hand-picked, unopened leaf buds, which are carefully selected for their tender, downy appearance and delicate flavor.

The tea leaves are processed using traditional methods, which involve withering, frying, and shaping by hand. This careful process brings out the tea’s natural sweetness and produces a light and refreshing flavor, with hints of fresh grass and subtle floral notes.

One of the unique features of this tea is its appearance, with the buds covered in a silvery-white downy fuzz, which gives it its name. The tea has a light golden-yellow liquor and a delicate, smooth texture that lingers on the palate.

The 2011 Wild White Tip Needle is a rare and highly sought-after tea due to its limited production and exceptional quality. It is best enjoyed on its own or with light snacks, and is a perfect choice for those who appreciate the subtle nuances of a high-quality tea. Overall, this tea is a testament to the rich history and culture of Chinese tea-making and is a must-try for any tea connoisseur.
