Silver Needle is regarded as China's finest tea. With delicate, plump, silvery, soft buds that creating a soft and gentle infusion. The tea soup is a light pale infusion, giving a subtly floral aroma with a pleasant creamy mouthfeel.
Being the highest grade of White tea, only the freshest, newly formed unopened buds are hand picked from the tea plant, still with a silver downiness. High grown in the mountains bordering Fujian & Jiangxi Provinces, with an early season harvest very and little processing just picked and then slowly sun dried in Fuding.
