Vendor Notes
This Heirloom Silver Needle presents a luxuriantly thick and creamy liquor, evoking notes of rich malted milk and sweet pistachio. Subtle whispers of summer meadows and a delicate hint of fig leaf syrup round out the aroma, leading to a lingering, agave-like sweetness on the finish. The gentle charcoal roasting process contributes a unique warmth and nutty depth.

About This Tea
What does Heirloom Silver Needle taste like?
This Heirloom Silver Needle presents a luxuriantly thick and creamy liquor, evoking notes of rich malted milk and sweet pistachio. Subtle whispers of summer meadows and a delicate hint of fig leaf syr. It leans creamy, nutty and sweet.
How should I brew Heirloom Silver Needle?
Water around 75–85 °C (167–185 °F). In a mug, steep 3–5 min. For gongfu, use 4–5 g per 100 ml, 20–40 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. Pretty forgiving. Oversteeping by a bit won't ruin it the way it would with a green.
Where does Heirloom Silver Needle come from?
Grown in Fujian, China from the Fuding Dahaocha cultivar. This batch is from the Spring 2025 harvest. The leaves got a medium roast after picking.
How much does Heirloom Silver Needle cost?
Starts at $29.95 from Mei Leaf, or about $1.27/g. A 20g package gets you around 3 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $7.62 per session. Explore more white teas on Teadar.
