Organic Silver Needle White Tea

Silver Needle, or Bai Hao Yinzhen, is a type of white tea made from the buds of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis). It is harvested in early spring and is known for its delicate flavor and pale color. The buds are minimally processed, typically withered and dried, to preserve their natural characteristics.

White tea is primarily used as a beverage, often brewed into iced tea or hot tea. Manufacturers may use it for its subtle flavor and natural compounds. It is commonly found in bottled teas, unsweetened teas, and flavored tea beverages.

White tea is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It contains antioxidants, such as polyphenols, which are studied for their potential health benefits. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated tea and its components. Evidence on specific health effects from consuming white tea at typical levels is ongoing and generally considered safe.
