Silver Needle tea or Bai Hao Yin Zhen is a white tea grown and picked entirely by hand in the Hunan province of China. Harvested on just a handful of days per year, it is the most revered and expensive variety of white tea grown, with only the top downy buds used to produce the tea. Silver needles offer a very pure, subtle and superior flavour of white tea that can be steeped multiple times presenting delicate variations with each steeping.

Aurora K. ★★★★★

The buds are so fuzzy and pale, you can tell they were hand-picked. Two minutes in 175-degree water gives a sweet, almost melon-like cup with zero bitterness. Worth the price for a once-a-year treat.

Stella ★★★★★

I steeped these at 175 degrees for about two minutes and got a cup that's honey-sweet with almost no bitterness. Knowing it's hand-picked on just a few days a year makes the price easier to swallow.

Owen ★★★★★

The buds are all intact and covered in that silvery fuzz, which tells you right away how carefully it was hand-picked. It's the sweetest, most delicate white tea I've had, no bitterness even when I forget and let it steep too long. Worth the price for the few days a year this stuff is even harvested
