CHINA SILVER NEEDLE

For this unique speciality from Chinese district of Fujian only unopened buds are picked and prosessed. If possible, this tea should be infused in glass pot. After a short time something thrilling starts to happen: The silvery leaves sink to the bottom and shortly afterwards straighten up and turn vertically. An exciting, velvety-soft and delicate flavour paired with an ivory-coloured, fragrant infusion. An enchanting experience.

Ingredients: white tea.

Net Weight: 40 g.

Henry J. ★★★★★

The buds are so fine and silvery, you can see why they hand-pick only unopened ones. Letting it steep in a glass pot made the liquor crystal clear, and the taste is delicate but lingers nicely.

Robert Y. ★★★★★

Brewed it in a glass pot like the description says and the buds unfurl beautifully, the liquor staying pale and delicate. It's my first silver needle and the soft, almost creamy texture surprised me — I've already ordered another tin for next week.

Penelope ★★★★★

The buds are incredibly fine and fuzzy, just as you'd expect from a proper Silver Needle, and they unfurl beautifully in my glass pot. The first steep is delicate and softly sweet, with a clean, almost grassy finish that I keep coming back to all afternoon.
