Spring 2026 · Master Mei Bozhen · Competition Grade · Silver Needle - 200g

Master Mei Bozhen’s finest work. This is competition-grade Silver Needle, the standard reserved for tea competitions where only the most exceptional buds make the cut. Spring 2026 harvest, hand-selected single buds covered in dense white down, processed through the traditional sun-withering method that preserves every nuance the leaf has to offer. 

In the cup: a thick, almost velvety body with natural honey sweetness, delicate floral notes and a deep, lingering aftertaste that keeps giving long after the cup is empty. This is what Silver Needle looks like at its absolute ceiling.
