Detailed Product Description

Silver Needle Tea is a highly sought after white tea made in China's southern Fujian province. The location has to be perfect for this exquisite tea.  It is only harvested, by hand, for a couple of days each spring. It boasts young, tender buds carefully picked right before opening. Also known as Bai Hao Yin Zhen, our Silver Needle has exquisitely shaped buds, and are enveloped in white down. Only these newborn buds are used. Each bud is carefully crafted into slender needles, and contains extremely high concentrations of antioxidants. It is also very low in caffeine. Sung Meng Tea uses only organic tealeaves, which makes this Silver Needle tea especially valuable and healthy.

Very little processing is done in the manufacture of white tea.  The tealeaves are slightly steamed and then sun dried. This white tea dazzles with its savory aroma, rich body and an arrestingly smooth and sweetly delicate cup.

A study published in Science News on April 15, 2000, revealed that white tea is five times more protective against cancers than even green tea.
