The Tea
China White Fujian Silver Needles is a rare and exquisite white tea.
The tea is grown in Fuding in the Fujian province of China at an elevation of 1,000 metres.
The leaves are harvested before dawn to preserve their delicate vegetal qualities. After picking the tea is withered in the sun and once again indoors. A light heating is applied to remove the remaining moisture.
Soft and velvety in character, the first infusion of China White Fujian Silver Needles has a delicate sweetness. Further infusions of this white tea will reveal the more vegetal notes.

“At its beginning H.R.Higgins (Coffee-man) had to be wholesale only because, as my father says in his diary, you couldn’t expect retail customers to climb up five flights of stairs.”
