{"product_id":"silver-needle","title":"Silver Needle","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe new growth of a tea plant is known for having the best flavor and fragrance, so this style of white tea—comprised completely of individual leaf buds—is justifiably prestigious. The style originated in Fujian Province; it’s handpicked in early spring, when the pale silver and sage green buds are still covered in fine downy hair. This version is made in the coastal area of Fuding from the traditional\u003ci\u003e Bai Hao\u003c\/i\u003e cultivar. It boasts sweet hay, wildflower honey, and corn silk aromas, backed by herbacious and citrus notes. The flavor is light but pleasing, reminiscent of an almond croissant dusted with cinnamon; subsequent steeps bring out its savory side, hinting of green olive and toasted nuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its smooth texture, this is a cup to savor at any time of the day. To maintain this white tea's natural sweetness, steep with water below boiling, but still hot enough to open up the tight furl of the buds (~190°F).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e: China\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fujian Province\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: toasted almond, lemon peel, bean sprout\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest Season\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spring 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2 oz\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eClick here\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e to order a small sample size of this tea.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e--\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"50x50\" width=\"50x50\" alt=\"Brew temperature\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0464\/5424\/3494\/files\/BrewingIcons_Thermometer-IPOT-IanTartasky_447fab86-08a0-4548-a356-5436f4a310b9.jpg?v=1601565482\u0026amp;width=700\"\u003e 190\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eº F\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"50x50\" width=\"50x50\" alt=\"Western style brewing\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0464\/5424\/3494\/files\/BrewingIcons_WesternTeapot-IPOT-WendyMacNaughton_41f842f4-04c3-48cc-a986-10a9039d352c.jpg?v=1601565291\u0026amp;width=700\"\u003e 4-5 grams, 3 minute steep\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"50x50\" width=\"50x50\" alt=\"Gaiwan style brewing\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0464\/5424\/3494\/files\/BrewingIcons_Gaiwan-IPOT-IanTartasky.jpg?v=1601565470\u0026amp;width=700\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e⅓\u003c\/span\u003e full, 1 minute steep\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"In Pursuit of Tea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55921358733480,"sku":"end1787854963078","price":27.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/3338\/2312\/files\/silver-needle_1.jpg?v=1787854968","url":"https:\/\/grovenook.shop\/products\/silver-needle","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
