Big Golden Needles from Qin'ai factory
Qin'ai Da Jin Zhen, 2025
Weight
Da Jin Zhen ("Big Golden Needles") is the king of red teas. It is made exclusively from large, unopened buds densely covered with golden down.
The dry aroma of these needles is delicate and very sweet: honey, hay, bread, pumpkin, vanilla, cane sugar, berries, and notes of corn. Once the leaves are warmed, the aroma becomes richer and denser: pumpkin, bread, potato, and vanilla sugar.
The taste takes you back to a carefree childhood of eating bread and butter with strawberry jam, washing it down with hot tea. Isn't that pure bliss?
