Tea Garden near Yueyang Tower




Is there anything in my teeth?














Time to relax at a local tea garden while listening to live music, nibbling on snacks, and drinking good tea. The tea we were served, Silver Needle Tea, is produced on an island in Lake Dongting. We had to wait until the leaves were floating straight up and down, signifying the tea was ready to drink. I also realized I had been making tea wrong. You're not supposed to use boiling water, opps.

White teas are more delicate, so you mustn't boil your water, as to protect its flavour and health benefits.
How was your experience then? Did you enjoy Silver Needle Tea?
