The rarest and most delicate of white teas, harvested from unopened buds covered in silvery down.

A Taste of Pure Elegance

Step into the world of tea aristocracy with our Silver Needle White Tea. This is not just tea; it is art. Harvested only during the early spring, our Silver Needle consists exclusively of the plump, unopened buds of the Camellia sinensis plant. Each bud is carefully handpicked and covered in a fine, silvery-white down (trichomes) that gives the tea its name and its unparalleled smoothness.

The Flavor Profile:
Unlike black or green teas, Silver Needle is remarkably gentle. When brewed, it yields a pale, crystalline liquor that carries complex layers of flavor:

Nose: Delicate notes of fresh melon, wildflower honey, and dried hay.
Palate: A silky, almost buttery mouthfeel with flavors of sweet steamed asparagus and white peach, finishing with a refreshing, clean sweetness that lingers.

Why You’ll Love It:

Low Caffeine: Perfect for a calming afternoon ritual without the jitters.
Antioxidant Powerhouse: Packed with polyphenols known for boosting immune health and skin radiance.
Zero Bitterness: Because it is minimally processed and steam-dried, it has no astringency—just pure, sweet nectar.

Brewing Instructions:

Water Temperature: 175°F (80°C). Do not use boiling water—it will scorch the delicate buds!
Amount: 3 grams per 8 oz cup.
Time: Steep for 3–5 minutes. Re-steep the same leaves up to 3 times, as the flavor evolves with each infusion.
