Silver Needle — Spring 2024

Hand-picked in early spring from young tea buds in Da Si village, Fengqing (Lincang), this is a high-grade white tea made entirely from unopened buds. The processing is simple — sun-dried and carefully handled — to preserve its soft texture and delicate aromatics.

The liquor is smooth and quietly expressive, with floral notes up front and a creamy, sweet finish. You might taste honeysuckle, white peach, or orange blossom at first, followed by sweet cream, barley sugar, and the warmth of steamed oats. The mouthfeel is thick and coating, with a clean aftertaste that stays with you.

Tastes like
Honeysuckle, white peach, orange blossom(Top);
Sweet cream, barley sugar, steamed oats(Base);

Brewing
5g tea / 100ml water / 85–90°C
Steep for 30–60 sec. Re-steep several times — up to 7 or 8. Adjust to taste.

In the cup
Made entirely from young spring buds, Silver Needle is naturally high in L-theanine as well as caffeine. The combination tends to produce a clean, steady lift.

Compared to other white teas, the energy feels lighter and more direct. Clear-headed rather than grounding.

A good choice for mornings, creative work, or when you want something bright but not overwhelming.
