Description
This tea was formerly called Golden Needle.
These long golden leaves produce a spirited and enthusiastic liquor. The cup has a sweet malty character with earthy undertones that will deliver increasing intensity with stronger steeping.
Produced on April 5, 2022 by Ms. Zhao Yu Jie in Feng Qing County, Yunnan Province. It’s a one bud, two leaf pick of a local Feng Qing cultivar grown at approximately 6,000 feet. The Chinese name for this tea is “Pine Needle” in reference to its deliberate needle shape.
