Taste & Flavor
These shy silver needles generally carry the character of the exotic environment where they are grown showing elegance in simplicity and purity. They vary from village to village depending on varied soils of Nepal.
Picking
The buds are the first and the finest pickings, from bushes those are pruned half way through the stems, during the winter months. This enables the bushes to produce lavish and fresh vegetation during the spring. The buds appear to be shiny and lush in the field itself, allowing to be plucked at the advent of its pubescence.
Processing
Hand-picked with great care, the silver needles are let to oxidize at temperature below 15˚C while blowing soft air from underneath till it is naturally dried to its optimum, while retaining its silvery hairs.
It is then baked in low temperatures until crisp while a ‘hayish’ (straw) fragrance or aroma is emitted from the dry buds.
