Yin Si, which means "Silver Threads", is a green tea harvested in spring 2026. The name refers to the look of the raw material: slender, graceful leaves and small buds covered in abundant down really do resemble silvery threads.
This is a bright, pleasant tea that captures the feeling of approaching spring. Even the dry leaf calls for gentle handling: the aroma is rich yet light. It suits those who like delicate green teas without harshness.
