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.
Steep at 180° for 2 minutes.

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.
Filled with the same high quality, full-leaf teas offered loose, our tea bags
have a distinctive pyramid shape that gives leaves plenty of room to unfurl and
fully infuse for the finest cup of tea. Savor the superior flavor of loose tea
without sacrificing the convenience of a teabag.
