One of the world's most revered teas, crafted with remarkable restraint.

Silver Needle, or Baihao Yinzhen, is made using only the youngest, most tender tea buds, carefully withered and dried to preserve their natural beauty and delicate character.

The result is an exceptionally elegant cup, light, silky and subtly sweet, with notes of honey and a lingering floral freshness.

Its simplicity is precisely what makes it so extraordinary, allowing the quality of the leaf to shine through in every sip.

Best enjoyed on its own and brewed gently, Silver Needle rewards patience and attention with a tea experience unlike any other.

A rare tea deserving of a quiet moment.
