About this tea

Silver Needles tea is a traditional Tribute Tea—a tea so precious it was reserved for the Emperor and the royal family. Made of individually plucked tea buds harvested only in the early springtime, it takes over 30,000 buds to produce one kilogram of Silver Needles. Our Silver Needles is unique in that it is sourced from Menghai and Mengku broad leaf varietal ancient tea tree groves in the remote, mountainous Yunnan Province of China. Like old grape vines, ancient tea trees yield complexities not found in other tea cultivars. This tea's sweet, nectar-like flavor and fruity aroma are examples of that varietal expression. Silver Needles is exceedingly rare and beloved by tea connoisseurs.
