The Indian Silver Needle tea is more than two times cheaper than Chinese Silver Needle. Only the freshest tender young buds, covered in a delicate soft white down are selected for Doke White Silver White Needle. Like most Silver Needle White Tea’s from India, these leaves are loose and slightly darker yet here this simply concentrates the delicious white tea flavors – a truly extraordinary Silver Needle tea. Large, downy needles produce a sweet and creamy, full-bodied golden liquor with notes of raspberry, peach blossom and dried apricot. Together with a small amount of astringency and a bit of malt/hops it can bring up a taste of a Belgian beer. More

This hand-rolled green tea is made up of beautiful, fluffy green leaves. The liquor is slightly earthy with notes of cherry and citrus zest. The texture is sharp, delivering a clean, strong finish. We do recommend to use a temperature of 74 °C and a steeping time 60-75 seconds.
