Gu Shu Yinzhen (Ancient Tree Silver Needle)
Hand-harvested in early spring from ancient tea trees in Yunnan, this white tea is made exclusively from single buds of semi-wild Camellia sinensis. Grown in high mountain gardens by ethnic minority communities practicing ancestral farming methods, the tea trees grow naturally among tall weeds and forest vegetation — untouched by modern agriculture.

Delicate yet deeply flavorful, Gu Shu Yinzhen has a soft, grassy sweetness with floral hints reminiscent of a spring garden. Its signature is a powerful, long-lasting aftertaste that lingers on the palate and soothes the body with warming minerality. The leaves are highly resilient, offering many infusions throughout the day — even developing fruity notes when brewed again hours later.

Also excellent for cold water brewing, this tea delivers a refreshing, sweet infusion enjoyed even by children. With age, it evolves a muscatel richness akin to raw honey and stone fruits. A rare and timeless tea — ideal for both immediate enjoyment and long-term aging.
