Big Golden Needles
Chun Yu Da Jin Zhen, 2025
Weight
Da Jin Zhen ("Big Golden Needles") is the king of red teas. It is crafted exclusively from large, unopened buds densely covered with golden down.
The dry aroma of these needles is remarkably sweet, reminiscent of grandma's fresh-baked pastries! Sweet dough, honey, vanilla, flowers, plum, and sweet potato. In the wet leaf, you can detect intriguing notes of corn, adding even more depth to the fragrance.
The taste plays with potato with honey, roasted chestnuts, and a delicate fruity acidity. It leaves behind a lingering, light astringency reminiscent of persimmon or green banana.
Provides a pleasantly heady, relaxing state.
