This silver needle white tea is made exclusively from the freshest, most tender and fragrant buds handpicked during the first harvest in March. These are then withered alternately indoors and outdoors due to the unpredictable, rainy weather, in a process known as mixed withering or fushi weidiao (複式萎凋). On the first night after harvest, the buds are usually withered indoors for better protection, then transferred outside into the fresh air the following day on stacked bamboo troughs to avoid overexposure to sunlight and ensure even withering. This process extends over several days until the tea has reached the desired level of maturity. Finally, any remaining moisture is removed through gentle oven drying.
