Silver Needle is the purest white tea we sell: only the downy spring buds, picked by Zhou Lan in Fuding and dried slowly in the sun.
The cup is pale and delicate, with honey and melon at the front. Brew it gently at 80°C and drink it with fruit, or on its own in the afternoon.
At the counter
1
Rinse the pot and cups with hot water, then pour it away.
2
Use the leaf weight on the caddy. A level teaspoon holds about 3 g of most teas.
3
Pour off every drop so the leaf does not stew. Good tea gives a second and third cup.
