Finally, a white tea that everyone can appreciate! Silver Needles are plucked from the freshest buds of the tea plant. The silvery-white hairs on the new growth give this tea it’s name. Flavorful and savory, Silver Needles is described by our tasters as having pleasant grassy, vegetal notes.
- Scoop a mounded tablespoon of Silver Needles into your infuser.
- Heat water to 190° (just before boiling).
- Pour 8 oz. of water over tea leaves.
- Steep tea for 3 minutes (depending on taste preference).
- Remove infuser and enjoy tea.
* It is not recommended to re-steep white teas, as they generally steep out after one time.
* Be sure to pre-heat your mug or pot with a little hot water before steeping.
Place in your infuser as many tablespoons of tea as there are 8 oz cups to fill, then add same temp water as above, and allow it to steep for 3 - 5 minutes, depending on your taste preference.
Our opinion is that a cooled concentrate works best, as regular-strength brew tends to become watery as the ice melts. So, use the above leaf quantities, but half the water, allow it to cool, then pour it over ice and enjoy! The brew will dilute down to proper strength as the ice melts.
