Pine Needle is a light and sweet tea rolled into the distinctive shape of pine needles. This is where it gets its poetic name! In our opinion, it is the very best representative of a classic Chinese green tea. Pine Needle, also known as Song Zhen, may not have achieved the mass popularity of giants like Long Jing; it is a niche tea, beautiful in its traditional simplicity. The most well-known teas often stand out for being unusual, while Pine Needle remains true to its essence without any gimmicks.<\/p>\n
It is an excellent tea grown and prepared with the masterful craftsmanship found only among small artisan producers.
\nIt features the floral notes characteristic of Chinese green teas and a deep, sweet flavor reminiscent of blanched green vegetables. It is the essence of Chinese greens, unobscured by surprising flavors, yet surprising us nonetheless, by how well the true classics perform.<\/p>\n
This is a seasonal tea that tastes best fresh, which is why we imported it in limited quantities. Don\u2019t delay your purchase!<\/p>\n
