Silver Needles is entirely hand-picked, gently sun-dried in warm spring sunshine, and then hand sorted to select only the most perfect white down covered unopened buds (it takes more than 10,000 hand sorted leaves to make a kilo of this fabulous tea). This tea exhibits a harmony of flavors from fresh cut greens, to sweet toasted wheat, from light nuttiness, to soothing spring flowers. The low caffeine and extra anti-oxidant content are additional reasons to stock up.
