Picked at the end of March 2009. Silver Needle is the most famous white tea in the world. Sweet, mellow and low in caffeine. Ideal for drinking on long, lingering afternoons, or well into the night.

 

Picked at the end of March this year, long, soft and downy, Silver Needle comprises the first spring buds of the Da-Bai tea plant. It comes from Fuding, a serene region with icy waterfalls and crystal clear lakes.  The peaceful setting is reflected in the flavour - soft and mellow,with the freshness of honeydew melon and the soothing sweetness of a ripe cantaloupe. It’s an easy-drinking tea that's ideal for drinking on long and lingering afternoons, or well into the night.
