The name tells its origin (Enshi) and quality (hairy needle, i.e. the spring tea buds).

Enshi Hairy Needle is made from early spring tea buds, carefully processed with traditional 25 procedures! The tea appears neat, lively dark brown. Steeping in water for just 1 minute, the tea gives a transparent golden color with a delightful fruity aroma. A pure white jade porcelain Gaiwan might be the best to prepare this black tea considering its appealing color for our eyes. The tea tastes smooth and mellow, blended with honey sweetness.
