Silver Needle tea or Bai Hao Yin Zhen is a white tea grown and picked entirely by hand in the Hunan province of China. Harvested on just a handful of days per year, it is the most revered and expensive variety of white tea grown, with only the top downy buds used to produce the tea. Silver needles offer a very pure, subtle and superior flavour of white tea that can be steeped multiple times presenting delicate variations with each steeping.
Place a heaped teaspoon (2 grams) of tea per cup (250ml) into a teapot or infuser, add filtered water at 70°C and allow to infuse for 5 minutes, strain the tea and serve.
Certified Organic Ingredients
Silver Needle White Tea (Camellia Sinensis)
Sourced from Hunan province, China.
Hand packed with care, by us, in Victoria, Australia.
The clear pouch that holds the tea bags is made from a renewable plant-based cellophane and can easily be home composted.
The cardboard is made from post-consumer recycled board, is printed with vegetable-based inks and can also be home composted after use.
The pyramid tea bags are not made from plastic. They are made from biodegradable, non-GMO, plant-based material which meets all compostability standards in Japan, North America and Europe. It is important to note these tea bags will take longer than plant matter to decompose. The material manufacturer recommends commercial composting as a quicker alternative to address this longer breakdown time.
If you are looking for the most environmentally friendly tea option, we will always recommend drinking loose leaf tea.
