Jasmine Silver
Needle
Rare, striking in appearance and pleasant tasting,
white tea gets its name from the fine silvery white hairs on the unopened buds
of the Camellia Sinensis plant. The highest quality white tea, Silver Needle,
consists only of these buds and is beautiful to behold. Our Jasmine Silver
Needle is a hand blended infusion of white buds and Jasmine petals.
