An exclusive blend of 1st Flush, single bud grades of Fuding Da Hao from Fujian, combined with Mengku Da Yeh and Menghai Da Yeh buds from Yunnan. Our Silver Needle Premium is very unique due to our blend of smooth, umami teas from Fujian and fruity, rich teas from Yunnan.

This is my tea for the week. I haven’t had a silver needle i didn’t like.
And like in music or cinema i try to find positive in everything i encounter.
It was no challenge to find the positive in this tea. The dry leaves have a an earthy and refreshing nose. And of course when liquid, it is very enjoyable. (subtle yet powerful)
I agree with others, you can steep this stuff hard and it’s still very pleasant. Thanks rishi!
I’m grateful that teas like this are available in stores.
I am brewing this exact tea while typing this. Cooled the water down till around 75c or about 170F. The leaves are a bit smaller then I am used to with most silver needle. Let it brew for 2 min. Slightly a little dry, but still with that soothing sweet after taste. For the price it is not bad at all. I think the water for the Rishi variety could have been hotter, like 175-180.
