White tea has a long history. According to historical records, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, a young man named Yin Zhen, with a self-made tea made in his hometown, paid a visit to Xu Shen, a famous Confucian master. When the disciples made difficulties, he ate tea under his eaves. For a moment, Xu Shen's entire residence was filled with strong tea fragrance. Xu Shen strolled to trace the origin, and then invited Yin Zhen into the study to brew his "tea cup". But he saw its beautiful shape. The white leaf bottom was like a silver needle dropping a pot. The soup was green and bright. The taste was fresh and mellow. Occasionally, the taste was mild and bitter.

Baihao Silver Needle, created in 1796, is one of the six major types of white tea in China. Its origin is in Fujian, and its main production areas are Fuding, Zherong, Zhenghe, Songxi, Jianyang, etc. It is known as one of the top ten famous teas in China, known as "beauty" and "tea king". Its appearance is straight like a needle, full of pekoe, silver like snow, and the finished tea is about 3cm long.
