Tiesta Tea - Silver Needle White Tea, Loose Leaf White Tea, Make Hot or Iced Tea & Brews Up to 50 Cups - 2.5 Ounce Refillable Tin

I recently tried Silver Needle white tea for the very first time, and I have to say—it completely exceeded my expectations. Known as one of the most prized varieties of white tea, Silver Needle is made from the young, unopened buds of the tea plant. Harvested only a few days each spring, these delicate buds are covered in fine, silvery hairs (hence the name). It's considered one of the purest forms of tea, both in flavor and tradition. I decided to drink it plain, and honestly, it didn't need a thing added. The flavor was soft, smooth, and incredibly refreshing—light on the palate but still memorable. There was no bitterness at all, just a clean taste that seemed to slow the day down for a moment. The real surprise, though, came from my three-year-old. Curious as always, they grabbed my cup, took a sip, and before I knew it had nearly finished the whole thing! That alone says something about how approachable this tea is—it's delicate enough for a child to enjoy, yet refined enough for adults to savor. Needless to say, I had to brew a second cup for myself. Silver Needle is more than just a drink—it's an experience. It's calming, simple, and a beautiful reminder of how something so minimal can feel so luxurious. For a first try, I couldn't have asked for better.
