Jasmine White Silver Needles
Experience our Jasmine White Silver Needles, a rare exquisite tea consisting of only singular tender buds picked in Spring before they open. The reason for the name, White Down Silver Needles, is quite apparent with one glance at the buds. The prominence of the delicate white hairs on the buds is quite striking.
Scented with Jasmine flowers, the tea brewed from these buds have a pale yellow hue with a floral and light honey-sweet scent. Its taste is delicate with a clean mellow sweetness and fresh aftertaste. Packaged traditionally, wrapped in thick paper and tied with a green ribbon. Net weight: 120 g
The water used to steep this tea should be about 160-180°F or 70-80°C. Use about 2 tablespoons (3 grams) of tea leaves for about every 5 ounces (150 milliliters) of water. A steeping time of about 3-5 minutes with more or less time recommended depending on desired concentration. As a rough guide, the higher the temperature of the water or the greater the amount of leaves used, the quicker the steeping time should be. The use of a ceramic or glass cup is recommended to enjoy the look of the leaves.
