Its subtle flavor makes it an excellent pairing for light and delicate foods, such as fresh fruit, cheese, or light salads. Silver Needle White Tea is one of the rarest and most luxurious teas available, with only a limited quantity produced each year. Its rarity makes it a coveted and highly prized beverage among tea connoisseurs and enthusiasts. It is an incredibly delicate, sweet, floral loose-leaf tea with exquisite melon and orchid flavours. This supreme high grade tea is characterised by the unique silver needle appearance of the closed buds but the delicate taste is one of the freshest, sweetest and aromatic cups available on the tea market. Silver Needle is one of the most prized white teas, harvested exclusively during the “first flush”, which lasts just a few weeks in early Spring.
