This limited edition Golden Pine Needle is hand-picked in mid-March. Sun Zhen, which means "Pine Needle" is a relatively new tea, only 100 years old. It gained royal status in the 20th century after becoming a favorite of the Queen of Britain. The mouthfeel is complex, very rich and malty. Notes of tart cherry, plums and pine linger on the palate.
