Silver Needle White Tea

Description

Silver Needle White Tea

Did you know Silver Needle Tea (also known as White Hair Silver Needle and Bai Hao Yin Zhen 白毫银针) is only harvested two days of the year and contains only the buds and youngest leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant?

The most expensive and prized of all the white teas, harvesting normally occurs on a sunny morning (so that all morning dew has evaporated) around March to April which is when the buds will flush.

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.

Certified Organically Grown China

A sweet and delicate taste that should be brewed correctly - so please view our brewing instructions below!

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

      International Return and Refunds Policy

      At Tea Life, we are proud to offer international shipping to many countries around the world so customers everywhere can enjoy our teas. However, due to the unpredictable nature of international postal systems, we are unfortunately unable to guarantee delivery once an order leaves Australia.

      Important Information for International Customers:

      • Once your order has been dispatched, it becomes the responsibility of your country’s local postal or customs service.

      • While we provide tracking for most international shipments, delivery times may vary widely and can be affected by customs delays, local postal handling, or other factors beyond our control.

      • Tea Life does not offer refunds, replacements, or credits for international orders that are lost, delayed, or not received.

      Before You Order Internationally:

      We strongly recommend checking your local import regulations and postal reliability before placing an international order. Some countries may have restrictions on tea imports or experience inconsistent delivery performance.

      By placing an international order with Tea Life, you acknowledge and accept these risks.

      We appreciate your understanding and thank you for supporting our Australian business.

      With the above being said, we see an over 99% success rate for international deliveries and without issue.
