A tea friend asked, what kind of tea is this white silver needle? How do you drink it?
White silver needle, is one of the white tea.
White silver needles, because the fresh leaf raw materials are all tea buds, after being made, the shape is like needles, the white millimeter is dense, and the color is as white as silver, so it is named "white silver needle".
Simply put, the white silver needle is the most tender of white tea, and the part of the bud head of the tea tree is picked.
If you don't know the friends of the white silver needle, you can look at the following pictures
As can be seen from the picture, this white silver needle is covered with white milli and looks hairy.
The white hairs on the white needle tea leaves are the hairs of the tea leaves, and these hairs are derived from the top of the young shoots of the tea tree, which can also be called tea milli.
Because of these teas, the silver needles look hairy.
Dried white silver needle tea is needle-shaped, with upright roots, with a small leaf, which we also call a small leaf shell.
This is the appearance of a standard white silver needle, a fat bud head, a small leaf shell, like the shape of a red tassel gun.
After talking about the appearance of the white silver needle, let's talk about the brewing method of the white silver needle.

Many people say that because white silver needles are made of tea buds, they cannot be brewed with water temperature of 100 degrees Celsius, but at 80 degrees Celsius.
This statement is not true, the real high-quality white tea is not afraid of boiling water brewing.
If you brew a silver needle with boiling water, it will taste bad, and there are two cases.
1, the tea itself is not of good quality
2, the brewing method is not correct
If the quality of tea is not good, there will also be bitterness, tastelessness and other situations in the tea soup. If the high-quality white silver needles will also appear dull and bitter, then this is the wrong way to brew.
When brewing white silver needles, it is brewed by means of high punching in a hanging pot and water injection on the wall.
This allows you to brew a delicious tea soup.
Especially the ring wall water injection this point in time is to use 100 degrees Celsius water temperature, but also will not hurt the tea buds, if the water is directly flushed on the silver needle, timely is 90 degrees of water temperature, but also will hurt the quality of tea.
Therefore, it is important to choose the right way to inject water.
For the brewing of white silver needles, there are 2 kinds of tea sets, one is a glass, and the other is a lid bowl.
It is best to choose a lid bowl for brewing, because the lid bowl can control the water time very well and can ensure the taste of the white silver needle to the greatest extent.
And the cover bowl brewing, but also can observe the color of the silver needles, as well as smell, so it is best to use the cover bowl to brew.
Of course, if the conditions do not allow, you can also choose glass to be brewed.
One of the advantages of brewing white silver needles in a glass is that you can enjoy the gesture of white silver needles dancing in the water.
Full of floating milk, buds stand tall.
Finally, I would like to remind tea friends that if you have the conditions, you can still use a white porcelain lid bowl to brew it.
