The scorching summer is very suitable for drinking white tea. The editor has specially selected two types of white tea, Fuding Pre-Qingming Silver Needle and White Peony, to recommend to tea lovers.

Pre-Qingming Silver Needle

 

 

The Pre-Qingming Silver Needle allows you to see the clearly picked pre-Qingming early spring tea, with each bud distinct, clean, and evenly shaped.

 

 

From its appearance, you can clearly see and feel the sunshine aroma from sun-withering and sun-drying. The strips are full, covered with white hairs, and the buds are plump and large.

 

 

The liquor color is elegant, pure, and translucent, with a fresh, brisk, sweet, and mellow taste.

 

 

Look at the brewed leaves to once again feel their fullness. This is mainly because the master tea maker's skill in controlling the process is excellent, resulting in even withering. This indicates that this Silver Needle will be exceptionally rare for collection, preservation, and later transformation.

Pre-Qingming Special Grade White Peony

 

 

White Peony spring tea picked before the Qingming Festival, clean and evenly shaped.

 

 

 

 

One bud with one or two leaves, the bud is generally longer than the leaf, forming a connected branch and flower-like cluster. The bud and two leaves show the "three whites," with prominent white hairs.

 

 

The liquor color is a light apricot-yellow. The taste is sweet, mellow, fresh, and brisk.

 

 

Let's look at the brewed leaves again. The plumpness of the buds almost rivals that of the Silver Needle mentioned above. Although this White Peony is slightly less exquisite compared to the top-grade White Peony King, it is already exceptionally rare and fine.

If you like white tea, I must recommend these two teas to you. They are suitable for both immediate enjoyment and collection/preservation. Good raw material and craftsmanship are the foundation for valuable collection, preservation, and later transformation.
