As a result, it includes the highest concentration of naturally occurring antioxidants, which are beneficial to your health. This tea is a natural stress reliever, with sweet richness and a smooth, well-rounded aftertaste.

The tender buds on top of the tea plant are chosen before the sun rises to make this tea. The long tea buds are thick and sturdy, with a dense downy needle-like silver-white hair covering that is unique to this tea. Because just the tips of the buds are picked, the procedure of harvesting these sensitive buds is exceedingly difficult and time-consuming, which is why it is such a cherished tea.

It's vital to note that Silver Needle Tea should only be consumed unadulterated, without any flavoring or blending with any other grade or type of tea. This way, you may enjoy its full flavor while still reaping all of the health advantages.

How is it produced?

Silver Needle Tea production is not for everyone. It necessitates knowledge, patience, and a significant amount of effort. Long and excellent apical buds and dark green leaves are produced by this particular variety. Fine, silvery down coats the buds before they open.

Under hot, damp, and humid circumstances, Silver Needle Tea grows abundantly at most elevations and flushes (produces leaves and buds that are hand-picked). The brush retains its tapering bowl shape and does not easily spread its branches.

The delicate and top buds must be selected with great care at the right ripeness and then carefully kept avoiding bruising.

These buds are collected in dry weather and laid out on a wooden or natural cane surface to dry in the filtered sunlight of the morning. This entire process is carried out under close inspection for around 4 or 5 days, for a brief period of time each day. This is the greatest way for withering the tea, but when the weather isn't cooperating, the procedure is carried out indoors using artificial heat.

Because of the minimal oxidation, the buds develop a distinct personality as a result of this practice. Because oxidation occurs when tea buds are broken, it is critical to use caution when brewing Silver Needle Tea to avoid damaging the buds. Finally, the buds are dried at low temperatures and are ready to be packed and shipped.
