NOTES
Assamica big leaves are easy to be broken during transport, they might have 2%-5% of broken leaves.
We do not call it Silver Needle as this tea is unlike the Silver Needle from Fujian where it has hairy buds. This tea comes from sustainable assamica bushes and the assamica buds are not hairy but it has a lovely earthy taste with a honey tone with more body than the normal Silver Needle.
