Our Masters Collection premium Fujian Silver Needle, or Bai Hao Yin Zhen, is made with fine silvery down bearing buds from carefully reared tea bushes in the Fuding area of Fujian, China. Handpicked, this precious white tea shows the care and skill of the proud farmers. In the cup, these extra-fine Silver Needle buds offer a buttery-creamy mouthfeel and wonderfully sweet, honeydew melon notes with a creamy cucumber lingering finish.

Fujian province is one of China's most prolific tea producing areas. These teas account for one-fifth of China's total tea output, and the consistently high quality keeps them in demand. A coastal province, Fujian benefits from an excellent climate, combining mild temperatures, abundant rainfall, and very mountainous terrain.

“ I've used about 185-190ish at 5-6 minutes to pull the flavor out and it still comes out great, also, so it seems this tea has some flexibility. :) ”

Does this tea have any actual melon in it? Melon is a life threatening allergy so I need to know before I brew it.

“ Hello Bambi! There isn't melon in this tea, it is a flavor note in the tea leaf itself. Hope this helps! ”
