White tea comes from the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant, the same one that produces green, black and oolong teas. Like green tea, white tea leaves are minimally processed, but unlike green tea, only the youngest buds of the plant are used. Silver needle white tea consists of only the buds of the plant and is very rare, as it is harvested only two seasons of the year. Silver Needle white tea is considered the gold standard of white teas. It is most commonly produced in the Fujian province of China, but it is also cultivated in Yunnan Province and other countries around the world. We started producing this world famous tea on August 2017. The requirements for picking of this White tea buds are very strict. Our tea pluckers pluck the leaves with the utmost care and attention to detail. The leaves are harvested while very young, and the buds are still covered in very fine, white hairs. These buds and unfurled leaves are handpicked and then meticulously withered and then dried under sun. The delicate art of maintaining the perfect balance between indoor withering and solar drying, makes Halda Valley Silver Needle White Tea such a highly regarded precious tea. The lingering fragrance of our Silver Needle White Tea is delicately honeysuckle floral and soft mouthfeel and uplifting finish. Offering a bright clear apricot liquor this exquisite white tea imparts a fresh and smooth, aroma that has delightful floral nuances. The resulting flavor is very smooth and mellow with no astringency, and a lightly sweet floral aftertaste. Our Silver Needle White tea invites your taste buds to go beyond bold and potent flavors to discover the joy of subtlety. White tea is refined with special and natural technology, preserving its rich original contents such as active enzymes, polyphenols, antioxidants, specifically Catechin and have anti-inflammatory and cancer-fighting properties. Therefore white tea belongs to a most primitive, natural, and healthiest tea.
