Bai Lin Golden Needle

A black tea of good quality in the fashion of a Bailin Gongfu (formerly: Paklam Gongou). Bailin Golden Needle is of a modern production, not being a traditional Gong Fu, but as a leaf tea, i.e. not sorted. The leaves have been rather heavily rolled and are thus rather compact, but the taste is typical for teas from the region near Fuding, where the village of Bailin lies. Bailin Gong Fu is one of the famous Minhong, renowned since 1851.
