This exquisite blend offers a smooth, velvety texture and a sweet, floral aroma that captivates the senses. Crafted using a centuries-old scenting process, jasmine flowers are layered with tea leaves overnight, infusing them with their natural essence.

Our Silver Needle Jasmine Tea showcases the pinnacle of jasmine tea craftsmanship. The dry leaves present a striking sight: plump, downy buds covered in silvery-white hairs, a hallmark of high-quality silver needle white tea. When steeped, the pale golden liquor releases a captivating floral aroma that fills the room, promising a sensory experience like no other.
This exquisite tea undergoes an impressive seven rounds of scenting, a labor-intensive process that infuses the tea with an exceptionally rich and long-lasting jasmine fragrance. The result is a tea with a luxuriously smooth texture and a taste profile that perfectly balances the natural sweetness of silver needle white tea with the delicate floral notes of jasmine. Each sip offers a refined, velvety mouthfeel with a lingering sweetness and a clean, refreshing finish.
Harvested in early spring, this tea features only the most tender buds from the season's first flush. The cool, misty climate of the tea gardens during this time contributes to the tea's robust flavor and aromatic complexity.
