Description

Grown in the Fujian province, Silver Needle is a popular tea in China. Its name reflects the high quality of the tea. Resembling white pine needles, this delicate tea is mellow with a light smoky aftertaste and yields a pale color in the cup.

White tea (bai cha) is a very rare, expensive connoisseur’s tea that is produced in China, mainly Fujian province, famous for its prized white teas. It is difficult to obtain as production is extremely limited. It comes from a special strain of the tea plant and is harvested only a few days of the year. Once harvested, white tea is not oxidized or rolled, but simply withered and dried by steaming.
