"The tea at the bottom of the packet was white. . ie no colour and no flavour. This is the first time this has happened to me so I wonder if I got the bottom of an old jar. Usually a beautiful tea but disappointed on this occasion"

Tea in it's most pure and traditional form, Silver Needles Tea is a delicate Chinese white tea, hailing from the Fujian province. Also known as Bai Hao Yin Zhen, this tea consists of tender spring buds that brew up an almost crystal clear infusion, with a light and nuanced sweetness.
Silver Needles Tea is best enjoyed in a traditional teahouse nestled within a tranquil bamboo forest. This tea is perfect as is - the addition of milk may overpower the subtle and refined flavour notes in this delicate tea.
