Hand made from the tenderest tips of the tea plant; with 50-60 kg’s fresh leaf needed to obtain 1kg of dry tea....! (up to a weeks work...?!). The tea is hand sorted with the greatest care then processed in the Yin Zhen (silver needles) style. Being a Himalayan tea however it differs from the classic silver needle style by retaining many of the high mountain Himalayan tea characteristics including a brightness and sharpness (briskness), with a crystalline purity.
As a white style tea it is 100% withered with many silver hairs on the long curled leaf and zero fermentation.
This exceptional tea has a wonderful bright light yellow green colour in the brew, with extremely pleasant flowery aroma, and herbal notes to taste, with a fine and noble aftertaste.
