Description

Note: This tea is 100% Organic

Shimmering golden buds create a crisp and robust red tea made from fermented white tea leaves. Most red and black teas are derived from the green tea variety bush; this tea is derived from a white tea plant achieving a smoother touch.

Golden Needle is a red tea made from fermented white tea leaves grown on Tai Mu Mountain. A unique and new tea, Golden Needle is so named for its long narrow golden tipped leaves. Golden Needle is a rich full-bodied red tea with a rose-flavored finish.
