Beautiful white tea cake consisting of fatty buds from the Yunnan ‘Da Ye Zhong’ cultivar. This silver needle cake brews a yellow liquor with a soft taste and refreshing aroma. Everything you can expect from a top-grade white tea.
Different from loose leaves, the raw material of this cake is first steamed soft and then compressed. When stored, the leaves will slowly improve further in taste, acquiring an amazing flavor in 3 years, reaching their full potential in about 7 years.
How to prepare the tea
As for any tea cake, the best is to pry off a chunk using a tea knife. Because this silver needle cake is fairly loosely compressed, it may also possible to simply use your hand to loosen up some outer leaves of the cake.
