Chrysanthemum Silver Needle

Chrysanthemum Silver Needle, a highly sought-after white tea produced in China's southern Fujian Province and only harvested for a couple of days each spring, boasts tender young buds plucked just before opening. Also known as Bai Hao Yin Zhen, Silver Needle takes its name from the exquisitely shaped buds enveloped in white down.

The chrysanthemum's white petals yield a refreshing and buttery cup with a sweet fragrance, resulting in a blend that dazzles with its savoury aroma, rich body and smooth delicate flavour.

Ingredients

Origin

China, Fujian province

Use

In the evening, sip white teas before or after a light meal. To truly appreciate their delicate flavour, avoid pairing with spicy food. Self-drinking, white teas impart the fresh and pure essence of the young tea plant. They are an excellent choice for those seeking the health benefits of green tea, but who are averse to its flavour profile.
