A wonderful sweet tasting and delicate tea with lingering honeydew melon notes. While Guangxi is not famous for it's Silver Needle production like Fuding, it has in recent years cultivated a growing reputation for the quality of it's Silver Needle tea, produced with the same cultivar and technique as Fuding. Due to the lack of fame, the tea is available at a much better price compared to Fuding Silver Needle.
