Silver Needle 2021 Jing Gu White Tea

The “Silver Needle” is from Jin Gu, Xishuangbanna, which is famous for its white tea due to its geographical location. The tea is made from Yunnan large-leaf tea trees that are around 100 years old, and this type of white tea contains the most tea polyphenols due to its production process. The tea broth is clear and bright, with a light-yellow color and plenty of tea hairs. It offers a rich and layered experience that develops with each brew.

We suggest consuming this tea after a heavy meal due to its fresh and clear taste and sweet, long-lasting aroma. Unlike the strong bitterness and astringency of Pu’er tea, Silver Needle has a mild and refreshing taste, like a cucumber, along with a special hao xiang and a slight bamboo aroma. Its appearance alone is attractive.
