Silver Needle – 50 grams

Produced in the Chinese Fujian province, this Silver Needle tea consists of the most tender leaves imaginable: single buds that were plucked right after they fully developed, but before they had time to open. The beautifully shaped buds of equal length are covered with white down. When infused, they produce a pale yellow liquor with an extraordinary fresh, sweet fragrance. A delicate and subtle treat for quiet moments and a wonderful Summer Tea when chilled. This very special tea deserves a careful preparation. It is suggested to brew it either in a guywan or in a Yixing tea pot (serious Silver Needle lovers will dedicate a Yixing pot just for this tea).

White Peony – 50 grams

White Peony (“Pai Mu Tan” or “Bai Mudan”) is made from the buds and leaves that remain after the famous Silver Needle has been harvested. While the cup color is darker and the aroma bolder, the natural sweetness clearly identifies the close relationship to the Silver Needle. Due to the size of the leaves, this tea can not be measured with a teaspoon. Available only in 50g package
