Jasmine Silver Needle Tea Caddy
茉莉银针白茶
Yunnan is the true home of puerh tea and is also known for rich black teas
Our Jasmine Silver Needle is composed of perfect, downy buds from China's Yunnan province that are freshly picked in spring then simply dried. In summer, the tea is carefully transported to neighbouring Guangxi province and laid with a bed of fresh jasmine flowers for five consecutive nights. This creates a serene infusion that balances the sweet white tea buds with the stunningly fragrant jasmine aroma. Delicate and soothing, this tea is the perfect partner for a moment of calm focus.

- Such a soothing cuppaGlorious tea, and very calming. I use slightly less than recommended and enjoy it cold too.
- Delicious light drinkI love this tea and I infuse it first thing after my Symprove probiotic to give my gut a calm start to the day. Silver needle tea in my opinion is a perfect tea at any time especially after a heavy meal.
I use the tiny glass teapot and find I tsp more than enough for two servings.
