The rarest cup from the slopes of Temi. Silver Needle is our most exclusive tea — made only from the young, unopened buds of the tea bush, hand-plucked at Temi Tea Estate in South Sikkim and gently withered and dried to keep their silvery down intact.
The liquor is pale gold and silky, with a delicate floral sweetness, notes of honeydew and a clean, lingering finish. Light on the palate, never bitter — a tea to slow down with.

How to brew
