Description

Yin Zhen Silver Needles

Yin Zhen, meaning Silver Needles, is a top shelf white tea with a subtle, sweet, delicate flavor. Yin Zhen consists entirely of soft, downy buds that give this tea its exquisite taste, which allows it to completely stand on its own. The name Silver Needles comes from the tiny white hairs on the buds and tea leaf. This tea is labor intensive, as Silver Needles require hand picking of the mature leaf and the buds from the tea bush. The tea leaves are then withered and dried.

While the new shoots (buds) on the tea bush carry the most caffeine to ward off bugs, white tea generally has less caffeine. This is because we brew it at lesser temperatures (higher temperatures bring out more caffeine). White tea also has little to no oxidation, a process that increases the presence of caffeine. Because white tea isn’t oxidized and brewed at lower temperatures, it has less caffeine.

With small thin pointed buds, Yin Zhen Silver Needles is a lovely tea that rolls off the tongue. The flavor reveals itself subtlety. It is especially enjoyed by those who have patience and like to challenge themselves by seeking nuance of flavor in tea.

I've been going to Lake Missoula Tea Company for years, and recently have had the privilege of putting some of their tea in my store. The quality of the tea is fantastic, and the blends are delightful. I have also attended one of their tasting / learning events and it was great. I highly recommend their downtown store for meeting with friends, family or even just for a nice place to go and have a cup of perfectly brewed tea.

Amazing variety great prices and they'll brew top shelf teas you may be reluctant to buy before trying for a dollar more. Great selection for Missoula. Friendly knowledgeable staff and beautiful tea sets and accessories

Best store in Montana possibly in all of the United States. I don't know. This is the first Gong Fu tea shop I've ever been to. I came in for a matcha whisk because I donated mine to a museum. Before I left a random customer who was introduced to me as a regular bought me tea. I hugged him which isn't something I normally do. But I was incredibly thankful. Then the man behind the counter gave me a free sample. I went in looking for a simple tool and left with tea and a happy spirit. I am looking forward to making it back as soon as possible! I loved it. I think it will always hold a special place in my blood pumping organ.

We are major tea snobs and I was absolutely delighted by this store. There are the usual suspects as well as shelves of unique, hand-picked teas. Highly recommend the Golden Snail :) It was really special being able to try whatever tea I wanted before buying. I'm looking forward to subscribing to their tea club. I would love to come back: everything was delicious.
