The term "Bai Hao," meaning "silver," refers to the fine silver hairs growing along the buds, while "Yin Zhen," or "needle," describes the appearance of thick, straight buds with sharp, needle-like tips. When steeped, the heat of the water awakens and enhances the tea’s delightful aroma, resulting in a clear, fresh yellow infusion. Flavor-wise, Fuding Silver Needles tea is very delicate. It has a fresh scent and a gentle taste with a sweet, lingering finish. Typically, it is light, sweet, and fruity, with a character reminiscent of creamy oats or fresh rice.
