Each sip revealing layers of fruity sweetness and a gentle, lingering embrace of nature’s purest essence with a cleanly fresh finish.

this tea is made only by the high-grade picked and selected tea buds, it takes 40,000-50,000 bud heads to make 500 grams of the silver needle white tea. Each tea bud reflects the deligence and insistance of the tea farmers.

There is even an interesting story between the luxury Brand Chanel with this tea. In 2016, it launched Chanel No. 10 Lotion based on “Silver Needle White Tea”, which contains antioxidant ingredients extracted from Silver Needle White Tea. Chanel introduced the skin care ingredients as follows: “The core ingredient of the formula is Silver Needle White Tea with triple effects, a rare and precious variety of white tea that can effectively relieve discomfort and strengthen the skin by strengthening the skin barrier.” The flavonoid content in a cup of Silver Needle White Tea is equivalent to 12 cups of orange juice, and its antioxidant effect is 18 times higher than that of vitamin E.

We chose FuDing Silver Needles for its sublime sweetness and the unique traditional processing method here. This batch of Silver Needles has a deep flavor formed by the big bud FuDing cultivars grown in the rich soils of FuDing, FuJian. These high elevation gardens flush a bit later in the springtime due to the cooler conditions in the mountains and produce slow growing and concentrated tea buds that glisten with a frosted appearance, nectar sweetness and noble character. This batch of Silver Needles white tea is comprised of pure, individually plucked tea buds harvested exclusively for ten days in the early springtime. This tea’s inherently sweet, nectar-like flavor and fruity aroma is beloved by tea connoisseurs.
