Once gathered, the buds were scattered on bamboo trays and slowly wilted with constant airflow for 30 hours. This step, called "fading", is unique to white tea crafting, as it allows mild enzymatic oxidation to occur in the leaf buds. The result is a tea that is more floral, rounder and creamier than green teas, with fruit rather than vegetal notes. After fading, processing is kept to a minimum, with a final six minute bake to finish the tea. Our Silver Needle’s provenance and quality sets it apart from most white teas on the market. Fuding County produces white teas that are sweet and floral
