Silver Needles White Tea (aka Bai Hao Yin Zhen) is a special tea where only the tender shoots (the bud) are picked, lightly wilted, pan-fried briefly at low temperature and then allowed to dry naturally (sometimes with the help of fans).  This relatively unadulterated style of processing lends the Silver Needle tea a fruity and sweet taste and aroma that even with a year or two of age will still taste thick, viscous and full in the mouth. Slight cinnamon spice aroma when brewed.  Thick and sweet.  Very lubricating mouth-feel that stays in the mouth after drinking. Brewing tip: Use 80c water and keep infusion times short for the first 3 to 4 infusions.  Can be infused 7 or 8 times!
