Danfe's Silver Needle Tea is a delicate white tea sourced from the high elevations of Ilam, where mist-kissed mountains between 7,000–7,500 feet create ideal growing conditions. This first-flush loose-leaf tea delivers a smooth, subtly sweet cup with refined floral notes that unfold beautifully across multiple infusions.
Hand-processed with minimal intervention, each leaf retains its natural silvery appearance and delicate character. The result is a clean, layered flavor that rewards both quick steeps and longer brews—whether you're enjoying a leisurely Western-style pot or experimenting with Gong Fu sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many times can I steep Danfe Silver Needle Tea?
This tea yields at least 2 quality infusions, with each successive brew revealing new layers of flavor. Many tea lovers find they can steep it 3–4 times depending on leaf amount and water temperature.
What's the best way to brew this white tea?
Use water around 160–175°F (70–80°C) and steep for 3–5 minutes for Western-style brewing. For Gong Fu, shorter steeps of 30–60 seconds work beautifully. The loose leaves have room to fully unfurl, releasing their delicate aroma and smooth flavor.
Why is this tea called Silver Needle?
The name refers to the appearance of the dried leaves—thin, silvery buds that resemble fine needles. This visual quality indicates minimal processing and peak-season harvesting, which translates to exceptional quality in the cup.
