Super Fine Yin Zhen Silver Needle is a premium white tea made solely from plump, downy single buds, processed by Zhang Lixiong through a meticulous eight-step craft passed down since 1929. The process begins with s![]()

pring plucking of tender buds before Qingming, followed by a 72‑hour compound withering (alternating sun and indoor drying), piling for gentle fermentation, initial baking, sorting, and a slow re‑baking to reduce moisture to about 6%. Finally, the tea is sealed and stored using Zhang Rang Ji’s patented method (ZL202210994732.1), which controls temperature, humidity, and light to preserve its signature downy honey fragrance, mellow taste, and aging potential.
