SILVER NEEDLE

The finest white tea contains only buds from the Fuding Da Bai Cha tea-bush, grown in Fuding County in Fujian Province. The buds are fanned on a single layer and dried in the sun until 70% of their moisture is removed. Once dried, the tea is moved indoors and dried further at low temperature. This preserves the white color of the buds. The infusion has a color like honey and the taste is filling the mouth with a smooth and lingering sweetness. Silver Needle is easier on the stomach than Green Tea and has a cooling effect on the body, according to the traditional Chinese medicine. This tea is ranked in the list of the Top 10 Chinese teas.
