Silver Needle white tea is produced from an unusual shrub variety, Camelia Taliensis. This tea was wilted for a short time (light oxidation) and then dried quickly with hot air. The tea is light but enveloping and rich. For lovers of bud-picked white tea, this unusual tea is elegant and special. The scent is fresh and seductive and the taste is a heady mix of sweet ripe melon and the woody essence of a forest after the spring rain. Place of Origin: Tang Te Village, Jinggu County, Puer (Simao) Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China. Production: The best productions come from the first harvests, which generally take place between the end of March and the beginning of April: only the leaf and the buds are harvested for the production of this tea. The ideal time is a sunny morning, when the sun is high enough to have dried any residual moisture on the buds. Ingredients: white tea.
