　　Silver Needle White Tea: Abbreviated as Silver Needle and also known as White Down, it is a premium specialty tea produced in Fujian. The finished tea consists mostly of buds covered with white down, appearing silver-white in color and slender like needles—hence the name. It is produced in Fuding City. The finished tea features plump buds densely covered with white fuzz, a bright silvery-white hue that shimmers, and long, straight, needle-like or angular-shaped leaves. The tea liquor is clear and bright, with a light apricot-yellow tint. It offers a pronounced downy aroma upon sipping, along with a mellow, fresh, and sweet taste. The tea is cool in nature and is believed to have detoxifying, fever-reducing, and fire-purging effects, and is regarded as an effective remedy for measles.
