For something to be regarded as the very best of its type, there has to be something unique about it, and that is the case with Silver Needle tea. Widely seen as the best white tea there is, silver needle is different. It is made from the unopened buds of the plant - not the leaves, not the stems, but the buds before they open - and it's only harvested on two days each year.

Why Silver Needle is Such a Special Tea

We don't know who discovered this was the way to do it, but whoever it was certainly came up with something. It is mellow and delicate, a sophisticated flavour that words struggle to convey. It has been compared with white peony tea and a popular description of the aroma is "freshly cut hay".

Just How "Delicate" Is Silver Needle Tea

The plant itself has to be very carefully cultivated and harvested - and it doesn't end there. You can't just put this into a teapot and slam in some boiling water. The water needs to be a little below boiling and it must be left to brew for around five minutes. These things are important to know because if you have a tea shop or are an oolong tea retailer, you want your customers to enjoy your products. To ensure that, they need a few words of advice. We at Teavision are very happy to give such advice to you so you can pass it on. Just fill in the online form and ask anything you're unsure about.
