The liquor is clear and bright, with a fresh, brisk taste and a lingering natural sweetness. Valued for its cooling properties and antioxidant benefits, Silver Needle Tea is regarded as a true treasure among white teas. With aging, its aroma gradually transforms into honeyed notes, the liquor deepens to a warm amber hue, and aged Silver Needle (old white tea) reveals a uniquely rich and mellow character.

Silver Needle Tea is a top-grade white tea and one of China’s Ten Most Famous Teas. It is renowned for its distinctive appearance—slender buds shaped like silver needles, fully covered in fine white down. Harvested only once a year, from mid–late March to early April, it is made exclusively from the very first tender buds of the tea plant.
