Da Jin Zhen Wang "Golden Needles" spring 2023

Crafted in early spring from handpicked, large tea buds, densely covered in a golden-orange down. The name translates to “Royal Big Golden Needles.”

The intense flavor and bright aroma of Golden Needles are the result of premium-grade raw material, the unique Jinggu Da Bai Cha cultivar, and the rich terroir of its growing region. Additionally, this tea undergoes a special low-temperature drying process, which enhances and preserves its aromatic complexity.

Refreshing yet warming, energizing and invigorating.
