Silver Needle (白毫银针) - Loose Leaf Tea

Tea Matters™ Silver Needle (白毫银针) is the most expensive variety and the most prized white tea.

White tea is truly special and something to treasure. Aged white tea is a must for any tea connoisseur’s collection. Silver Needle is the most well-known white tea and Fuding, China is renowned as the best region for it.
