Product Description:

Silver Needle White Tea is the top-tier variety of white tea, named for its plump buds covered in fine silvery hairs. Renowned for its long history and exceptional quality, it offers a refined aroma and fresh, mellow taste, making it a prized choice for white tea enthusiasts.

This Silver Needle is made from the tenderest early-spring buds, naturally withered and dried without pan-frying or rolling, preserving the tea’s natural vitality and nutrients. The dry buds are straight and fully covered with white hairs. When brewed, the tea liquor is bright golden-yellow, with a smooth, fresh flavor and a naturally sweet aftertaste, with almost no bitterness.

The fragrance is elegant and long-lasting, with subtle floral and sweet notes, creating a calming and soothing experience. The overall taste is fresh, mellow, and smooth, making it ideal for daily drinking, tasting, and collection.
