Teas Imperial Tea | Imperial Silver Needles

Imperial Silver Needle Leaves Are Slowly Sun-Dried And Hand Sorted In The Early Spring Harvest, Using Traditional Methods. This Fujian White Tea Is Not Easy To Come By As Only The Unopened Leaf Or Bud Is Used. And To Complicate Matters, White Tea Production Has Continued To Decline Due To Weather And Labor Shortages. This Is Coupled With Increased Demand For High-Quality Fujian White Teas Due To Its High Anti-Oxidant Content, Unique Flavor, And Collectible Value. This Causes The Procurement Of The Highest Quality Silver Needles To Be Difficult And Pricey. The Good News Is That More Growers Are Going Back To The Traditional Methods; While More Time And Labor-Intensive, The Tea Produced Is Exquisite. Imperial Silver Needles Has A Fresh, Unique Fragrance And Taste. Its Unaggressive Nature (Almost No Bitterness) Makes This One Of The Most Enjoyable Tea-Tasting Experiences Available.
