SILVER NEEDLE TEA
Silver Needle tea is made from young buds with silvery hairs grown at high altitudes with extreme temperature variations. The buds are carefully picked and dried in shallow bamboo baskets under the sun, allowing minimal fermentation. This process preserves the tea's gentle aroma of ripe fruit and leaves a lingering light sweetness in the mouth.
