The King of White Tea: Why Silver Needle is Unique 

Rarity and Craftsmanship: What Makes Our Loose-Leaf Silver Needle Special?

Silver Needle's prestige comes from its meticulous harvesting and minimal processing:

Single Bud Harvest: True Silver Needle is hand-picked only during a short, early spring window, selecting only the plump, unopened buds that give it its namesake needle shape and silvery down. This rarity makes it the most prized organic white tea available.

Delicate Flavour Profile: Our collection, including the China Downy Silver Needle, is virtually unoxidised, preserving its natural essence. The resulting infusion is pale gold, smooth, and sweet, with subtle notes of honey, melon, and vanilla—a truly refreshing and soothing cup.

Health & Wellness: As a minimally processed tea, our organic white tea buds boast a remarkably high concentration of antioxidants and L-theanine, promoting gentle energy, stress reduction, and overall well-being.

Certified Organic Purity: We ensure that every batch of our loose-leaf Silver Needle is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or chemicals, delivering a clean, pure flavour and peace of mind to our discerning customers across the UK.

Organic Yin Zhen Silver Needle: The name Yin Zhen translates directly to "Silver Needle," representing the highest grade of this tea.

Water Temperature: Use filtered water heated to 75°C to 80°C (167°F to 176°F). Never use boiling water.

Dosage: Use two heaped teaspoons (approximately 4 grams) of loose-leaf Silver Needle per 250ml cup.
