White Tea

White tea comes from China and well known in the Fuding and Zhenhe districts of its Fujian province. Our white tea trees originated from superior breed of Fuding white tea and cultivated in our high mountain organic tea plantation with 800M above sea level.

Silver Needle Tea is also called Baihao Yinzhen or silver tip white tea in china and is among the most revered of Chinese tea. It is a top grade white tea and gathered only in the few days of early spring, the preparation of this tea is governed by strict requirements to ensure a premium product. This dedication to perfection is evident in the cup, which is sweet and delicate with a clean, airy fragrance. Our organic ‘Sublime Needle’ is a Special Grade (Bai Hao) version of this exquisite tea.

“Exquisite” is the best word to describe this Silver Needle Tea. The tiny, “silvery” buds are hand picked just before opening, then only steamed and withered. This process has remained almost unchanged since the Tang Dynasty (600-649). The buds have a silky texture from the fine white “down” that covers them. When the tender buds are infused the liquor is a light, clear green colour and the fragrance has a mild “grassy” note. It has the freshest of flavours, slightly savoury, with a sweet under note that lingers at the sides of the tongue. The buds can be infused multiply times, releasing slightly different notes each time. Medically white tea is refreshing and is good for the stomach. It can also be used to dispel the heat. Particularly the aged old Baihao Silver Needle, can be used for antipyretics in children with measles. Its antipyretic effect is much better than antibiotics.
