Teavana Silver Needle White Tea

Teavana's Silver Needle delivers what premium white tea should — each bud covered in fine white down, a delicate sweetness with no bitterness, and a lingering floral finish. The buds-only harvest means you get consistent quality without the variable tannin levels that mixed leaf and bud white teas produce. Brewed at the right temperature (75°C, not boiling), the cup is pale gold with a subtle honey-like sweetness and light hay notes. This is the correct introduction to white tea for someone who has only had white tea blends. Worth the price for occasions when you want to taste what white tea actually is.
