Silver needle is the quintessential white tea. Containing only the central bud leaves, and gently processed with low heat, the leaves still retain their youthful silver fur, which adds to the richness of the tea's texture and flavor. Grown in Jianyang, without the use of pesticides, this is a a paragon of the style, embodying everything that a good silver needle should be. It is smooth, mellow, clean, vibrant and crisp, with hints of pear and a divine aroma reminiscent of a spring meadow. While this tea can be consumed immediately, and it will be delicious, it is also ideally suited for aging.
