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.

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.
