Origin: Fujian’s Misty Highlands
Our Fluffy Silver Needle originates from the mystical mountainous regions of China’s Fujian province. Here, where mists embrace ancient tea bushes and the humid climate nourishes fertile soil, the world’s finest white teas are born. Sunbeams gently caress the young tea buds, which are covered with silvery hairs, giving them their characteristic appearance and exceptional taste. Legend has it that it was in this region that the healing properties of white tea were discovered when an ancient emperor sought an elixir for eternal youth. Each cup takes you on a journey to these quiet, mist-covered mountain slopes, where time seems to stand still.
