Origin: Southern Fujian, China

Flavor Profile: Sweet honeysuckle nectar with notes of apricot, pineapple, honey, and hay. Aromas of stone fruit and warm roasted hazelnut.

Tea Story: A classic Chinese combination, we blend our organic silver needle white tea with freshly dried, sweet osmanthus flowers. The tiny pineapple-flesh colored flowers give the infusion a dreamy, honey-like sweetness that coupled with the delicate, silky mouth-feel of the white tea is simply heavenly. The Osmanthus Silver Needle is like a nectar from the goddesses.

Samovarian Poetry: A precious flaxen brew with aromas of stone fruit, wild herbs, and warm roasted hazelnuts. Silken body with an engaging satiny sweetness. Honey-like, and mildly vegetal, but entirely unsweetened.

Food Pairing: Pair the ethereal Osmanthus Silver Needle with a steaming bowl of oatmeal or millet porridge sweetened with osmanthus jam and agave nectar. Or serve it along with tea cookies: rooibos infused short bread and lavender butter cookies. The flavor of this tea is so fragrant and delicate, you’ll want to pair it with dishes that won’t overshadow its beauty.
