TEA STORY
Chinese name: Jin Zhen Bai Lian Shu Pu’er 金针白莲熟普洱
Jin Zhen Bai Lian (金针白莲), known as “Golden Needle White Lotus,” is a distinguished Ripe/ Shu Pu’er tea from Yunnan, China. Created by the renowned Menghai Tea Factory, its origins trace back to the legendary “Daughter’s Tea (女儿茶)”, a treasured blend historically gifted to noble families and celebrated for centuries.
Crafted using tender, high-grade leaves from Yunnan’s large-leaf tea trees, and refined through signature fermentation process, this tea represents the perfect harmony between traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation. Its name reflects both its appearance and spirit: the “Golden Needle” symbolizes its slender, golden-tipped buds; the “White Lotus” evokes its soft chestnut hue and subtle lotus aroma—graceful, serene, and pure.
Jin Zhen Bai Lian Shu Pu’er is visually stunning, with:
-
– Tightly rolled buds, needle-thin and covered in shimmering golden hairs.
-
– Robust, plump tea strips, with a chestnut color touched by silvery-white frost.
-
– A consistent, uniform structure, showing the care in its selection and processing.
When brewed, the tea yields a gem-like red liquor, radiant and translucent, inviting both eye and spirit.
