 Sliver Needle white Tea Brief Introduction:

A genuine Silver Needle is a white tea, produced in Fujian Province in China and as a white tea, it is only lightly 

oxidized.The best productions are from the first flushes, which generally take place between late March to early 

April,when the year's first new buds "flush". For the production of Silver Needle, only the leaf shoots, i.e. the leaf 

buds before opening, are plucked. 

Unlike the plucking of green tea, the ideal time and weather for plucking white tea is a sunny morning when the sun 

is high enough to have dried any remaining moisture on the buds. It is the most expensive variety and the most prized, as only top buds (leaf shoots) are used to produce the tea
