Flavor Profile

This Kenyan treasure, Silver Needles, hails from one of the highest-altitude tea gardens in the world, nestled between 2,000–2,400 meters on the slopes of Mt. Kenya. The elevation, combined with the region’s crisp mountain air and pristine terroir, crafts a tea of unparalleled elegance.

A rare white tea composed exclusively of unopened first-flush buds, Silver Needles enchants with a delicate floral sweetness, gently layered with fresh, dewy grass undertones. Upon brewing, the first infusion releases ethereal floral aromas, which deepen and intensify with subsequent steeps, revealing hidden complexity.

Brewing Recommendations
To fully unveil its evolving character, start with cooler water (65°C) and gradually increase the temperature over multiple infusions. This method highlights the tea’s nuanced layers, from airy blossoms to a velvety, lingering finish.

Craftsmanship & Rarity

• Fully hand-processed: Each bud is carefully plucked and traditionally sun-dried, preserving its natural integrity and silvery down.

• Seasonal rarity: Available only in limited quantities, this tea is a testament to the skill of Kenya’s high-altitude tea artisans.

Why Silver Needles?

• Pure elevation: The extreme altitude slows growth, concentrating flavors and essential oils in the buds.
