SILVER NEEDLE WHITE TEA:

These special tea leaves are only dried in the sun after harvest and they are neither oxidized nor processed further by rolling, or other techniques. Warm air dries the tea leaves within one to two days - creating its unique flavor.



YAZITANG, CHINA:

In China, silver needle tea is also called "Yin Zhen Cha". The tea was so precious that for a long time, it was only reserved for the imperial court. Nowadays this premium tea varietal has established itself as a staple for the sophisticated tea drinker.

Hazel X. ★★★★★

I've been brewing this at 175°F for two minutes and it comes out so delicate, almost honey-sweet with no bitterness at all. Knowing the leaves are just sun-dried and never rolled or oxidized makes the clean, light cup make total sense.

Sofia ★★★★★

I usually drink green tea, but this unoxidized white has a much gentler, sweeter flavor with none of the grassiness. You can tell the leaves were just sun-dried since nothing tastes rolled or processed. Steeping it at a lower temperature for two minutes keeps it from getting bitter.

Eva ★★★★★

The leaves are whole and fuzzy, and steeping them at 175°F for about two minutes gives a clean, honey-sweet cup with zero bitterness. I've been drinking this every morning for a week and it never turns harsh, even when I forget and leave it sitting.
