Silver Needle White Tea

Silver Needle teas are regarded as the most exquisite of all white teas, as they are made exclusively from the young, fresh buds and have an especially low level of oxidation (approx. 2%). The most famous growing region for Silver Needle tea is Fujian Province. Within it, the most renowned terroirs include Fuding, the legendary Wuyi Shan, and the traditional tea village of Zhenghe, famed for its delicate, needle-like buds. Our selection also features Silver Needle teas from the mountains of Guangxi, as well as fine Moonlight White tea cultivated at high altitudes in Yunnan.

Silver Needles from the southern Chinese provinces of Yunnan and Guangxi reflect the natural vitality of their subtropical terroirs and captivate with floral notes of jasmine and white peach.

China’s Fujian Province is widely regarded as the finest terroir for white tea. Silver Needle teas from Fujian are celebrated for their elegance and their subtle, creamy notes with a hint of vanilla. We offer outstanding Silver Needle teas from the legendary Mount Wuyi, as well as from the internationally acclaimed Mount Taimu near Fuding, considered the world’s premier terroir for this exceptional tea.

White tea cultivated in the fertile, volcanic soil of Mount Kenya. The secluded natural area and special terroir make for unique white teas with a creamy, full-bodied bouquet. Our Purple White is made from a rare purple cultivar that is gently processed as a white tea.
