This splendid piece of beauty is cultivated at altitudes of 1,200 to 2,100 metres and is produced by hand. As opposed to the many other, very “light” white teas, this tea will surprise you with some body and exceptional flavor nuances in the infusion. Subtle hints of elegant, floral aromas interact with smooth, fruity citrus textures. Superb! The leaf is very expressive, anthracite-colored with many plushy, silvery leaf tips. Only recommended for tea gourmets!
The Silver Needle White Tea is from the north of the province of Fujian, where white tea was produced for the first time. At altitudes between 850 and 1.000 m, this exquisite quality is grown and only the budding leaf is plucked. The climate and the soil conditions, the early morning fog and a good amount of suneshine in the afternoon are optimal growth conditions for this unique tea. The bright, slightly rose-colored cup develops a soft, fragrant bouquet and a tender mild taste on the tongue which is reminiscent of apricots.
Pai Mu Tan is the best known specialty within the category ╩White Tea╦ and is finding more and more friends all over the world. A tea plant called Chaicha or Narcissus grows in the province of Fujian and is also known as ╩White Peony╦. After plucking, the tea is dried in the sun or in closed rooms without further technical aid. The leaf shows many shades of green, is very voluminous with different structures and a nice portion of longish, silvery-white leaf tips. The cup color is very light with a shimmering amber tone, and the taste is elegantly spicy.
This tea is a further jewel from the immense treasure vault of Chinese specialties. For more than 100 years, this tea has been produced in the southeast of the Chinese mountains at an altitude of about 1,000 m. After the traditional hand plucking, this tea is only fermented for a very short time, in order to save the tea╚s ╩green soul╦. The very homogeneous leaf of a light green color offers a further particularity in the silvery, shimmering back of the leaf. The thorough ╩two leaves and a bud╦ plucking is clearly visible. The cup shimmers light green with a slight shade of champagne. The taste is spicy with a mild, slightly fruity note. A treat of the special kind.
The natural friendship of ╩East meets West╦ is portrayed when we look at the flavor composition mango and pear in this organic blend. Any possible early shyness as to whether this is really the perfect match was gone the minute these two fruits met on the delicate white peony. A must-have organic creation!
