Silver Needle Divine Jasmine

$20.95

A more modern infusion of the revered Silver Needle tea (Bai Hao Yin Zhen 白毫银针) that we've named 'Silver Needle Divine Jasmine' that tastes and smells..well.. divine.

This infusion keeps the delicate flavour of Silver Needle, while adding Jasmine which does not overpower and only further enhances. This is the most prized of the white tea family in all of asia, with harvesting only being available in the months of March to April.

There are two main types of Silver Needle White Tea, which are based on their region of origin - Zhenghe and Fujian, with ours being from the latter, A grade, and known to be lighter with less oxidation.

Since this is quite a delicate tea, it's best to get the most out of it so please follow the brewing instructions below!

  1. Add around 1 heaped teaspoon to strainer in 80c water.
  2. Steep for 2-3 minutes with the cup covered.

Health Benefits

Antioxidant Power
Packed with catechins and polyphenols, white tea helps fight free radicals and supports your body’s natural defenses. Think of it as a gentle shield for your cells.

Skin Support
These same antioxidants may also guard your skin against pollution and UV rays, giving it a little extra love every cup you sip.

Calm, Steady Energy
With just enough caffeine to perk you up, white tea offers a smooth, even boost—no jitters or zippy crash. Perfect for long afternoons or early mornings.

Mindful Relaxation
Traditionally, people have reached for white tea when seeking calm. Its light, floral flavor makes it an excellent companion for quiet tea-time rituals.

Hydration Helper
Unlike sodas and energy drinks, white tea is naturally hydrating. Swapping it in for sugar-laden drinks is an easy step toward better hydration.

(These points highlight what many enjoy in white tea, but they are not medical advice. Drink it as part of balanced meals and snacks.)

- Less Is More : Enjoying a cup or two a day is usually best. Too much may lead to feelings of restlessness or a rumbly stomach.

- Not a Pill : This tea is wonderful, but it’s not a stand-in for doctor’s advice or treatment.
