Description:

Silver Needles refer to the buds of the tea plant. Because white tea is the least processed type of tea, you can still see the fibers on the individual buds. This tea has the addition of jasmine, which is one of the most popular additives to tea.

This tea is a great alternative to the green jasmines if you don't like the grassy taste of green teas.

White tea leaves are plucked from a special varietal tea bush called Narcissus or chaicha bushes. Secondly the leaves or buds are not steamed or pan-fired (the process used in green teas) or oxidized and fired (the process used in black tea). The leaves are naturally withered and dried in the sun. If mechanical drying is required it is a baking process at temperatures less than 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

Ingredients:

White tea buds, and jasmine flowers

Additional Brewing Methods:

This white tea is best enjoyed when the leaves are briefly infused with hot water, which is then poured off. The tea is then re-infused for the recommended time. The leaves may be re-infused several times, with each resulting infusion yielding different liquor from the proceeding cup.
