On a leisurely afternoon or as the evening lights begin to glow,

gather with a few friends, brew a cup of Silver Needle,

and be greeted by the scents of earth and trees,

by the unadulterated, primordial form of life, untouched and unaltered.

White Tip Silver Needle, abbreviated as Silver Needle or Baihao, is a traditional Han Chinese famous tea, belonging to the white tea category. It is renowned as the 'Beauty' and 'King' of teas. White Tip Silver Needle was created by Han tea farmers in Fujian Province in 1889, with production areas located in Fuding City and Zhenghe County, Nanping City, Fujian Province, China. Depending on the origin and tea plant variety, it is divided into two types: Northern Route Silver Needle and Southern Route Silver Needle. The finished tea resembles needles, is densely covered with white pekoe, and is silver-white in color, hence its name.

It is made by picking fresh tea buds from large white tea trees, spreading them thinly on bamboo trays for natural withering under weak sunlight or in a ventilated room, and then slowly drying them over a gentle fire. This process requires no rolling or disruption, preserving the most primordial form and natural essence of life.

Fine tea requires fine vessels to complement it. Usually, a straight-sided, transparent glass cup without patterns or color is best, as it allows appreciation of the shape and color within the cup from all angles, along with their transformations and elegance.

White Tip Silver Needle undergoes no kill-green, rolling, or other processes. It neither loses the plant's vitality nor sacrifices the tea leaves' original, unique nutrients. Its character is mild, so there is no one who cannot drink it, and no time when it cannot be drunk.

On a leisurely afternoon or as the evening lights begin to glow, gather with a few friends, brew a cup of Silver Needle, and watch the full cup of tea buds curl, unfurl, and eventually stand upright, one by one. Gently inhale, and be greeted by the scents of earth and trees, by the unadulterated, primordial form of life, untouched and unaltered.

This can lead to a sudden realization: the life of a leaf is so simple - breaking through the soil, growing, withering, blooming, returning to the earth... This cycle of life and death repeats endlessly. In truth, humans are the same. It's just that within the urban jungle, so many forget their own simple, primordial selves. What we have forgotten, we can恰好 find in this cup of tea.
