green needle

Sweet young buds, not quite open, make up the leaves of this fine China green tea. The pale yellow liquor releases a softly vegetal yet floral aroma. Delicate and light, this tea refreshes with the fruity-floral character of a dewy spring morning.

lore

Green Needle is from Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province. Zhejiang is China's largest tea producing province and home to Dragon Well (or 'Longjing') green tea. Gunpowder green tea is also traditionally from Zhejiang, as is Tian Mu Qing Ding, from the breathtaking Tian Mu Mountain. Zhejiang shares a border with another important coastal tea province, Fujian.
