About Silver Needle Tea
Silver Needle, also known as Bai Hao Yin Zhen, is a white tea made from the buds of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. The buds are covered in fine, white, silvery down, which gives the tea its distinctive look. As a note, Silver Needle Tea draws on the brewed cup rather than the dry leaf.
Scent Profile
Brewed Silver Needle pours a bright, clear apricot color and carries **fresh, aromatic floral nuances**. The note follows that clarity, reading as a light, gentle tea impression with a soft floral glow and very little heaviness.
Use in Perfumery
It can lend transparency and calm to tea and floral compositions. Paired with soft florals such as mimosa, or with musk, it can feel quiet and comforting, while a touch of saffron-like spice adds a subtle warmth around the edges. Used this way, it is less about strong tea character and more about a clear, airy atmosphere.
