Description

Silver Needles Tea is one of the most prized white teas in the world. Often called the champagne of white tea, it is known for its purity, elegance and light, natural sweetness. This exceptional tea is hand-picked in early spring in China’s Fujian Province. Only the youngest, unopened buds are selected. These soft, silvery buds create the classic needle-like shape that gives the tea its name.

Silver Needles is the least processed tea available. The buds are simply picked, withered and dried. This minimal handling keeps the tea rich in antioxidants and naturally low in caffeine. It is an ideal choice for drinkers seeking a gentler and more soothing cup.

The flavour is delicate and clean. Expect a soft sweetness with subtle notes of freshly cut grass. The liquor is pale, bright and beautifully clear. Silver Needles is best enjoyed without milk to appreciate its refined character.

To brew, use two teaspoons of leaves and steep in water at 80–90°C. A brew time of 2–4 minutes works well, depending on taste. This gentle tea can be enjoyed at any time of day. Its calming profile makes it perfect for moments of quiet focus or simple relaxation.

Store Silver Needles Tea in an airtight container to protect its delicate aroma. This rare white tea offers a pure and serene drinking experience. It is a wonderful choice for both seasoned tea lovers and those exploring white tea for the first time.
