The beautiful, distinctive leaves of Jasmine Silver Needles are some of the rarest and most prized in the tea world.

These leaves are hand-picked during the very first days of the season, ensuring that only the youngest and freshest buds are selected.

The jasmine scenting process for this tea is done naturally and with great care. Freshly picked jasmine blossoms are scattered over the newly harvested and shaped Silver Needle leaves. This traditional method allows the leaves to gently absorb the floral fragrance of the jasmine blossoms as they dry. The result is an exquisitely balanced tea with a fragrant jasmine bouquet and a slightly sweet, delicate taste that lingers on the palate.
