Our organic Silver Needle White Tea is among the most revered of Chinese teas, produced in the high mountains of China’s southeastern Fujian province. This tea consists of only the most delicate downy buds from the tea plant’s newest growth. Gathered only in the few days of early spring, the preparation of this tea is governed by strict requirements to ensure a truly premium product. This dedication to perfection is evident in the cup. The pale yellow infusion has a rich, nectar-like body. It yields a light, honey-sweet fragrance with a delicate sweetness and smooth, clean finish. This tea is absolutely devoid of astringency.
