Jasmine Silver Needle White Tea | Moli Yin Zhen
Silver Needle is China’s finest white tea. Its perfect, downy buds are picked and sun dried in April, in the mountains of China’s Fujian Province. In August, the tea is laid beneath a bed of fresh jasmine flowers for seven consecutive nights, marrying the sweet white tea with fresh, fragrant jasmine aroma.
Silver Needle is produced in a remote town in Fujian Province, South East China, where
tea has been produced for more than one thousand years.
The local scenery is beautiful, set around a lake with mountains steeply reaching up into the sky with cascading waterfalls and vibrant green tea fields.
The air is so fresh and pure, that when you breathe it in, it seems to make sense that white tea is so associated with health.
This tea is IMO Fair Trade certified. Jing Tea supports producers to ensure equitable working conditions.
