A delicious white tea that has a flavor similar to that of fresh apples - thewhistlingkettle.com

King of Silver Needles

Pure White Tea

This Silver Needle white tea is one of the top grades available. The trademark signature style of this tea is it's peach fuzz texture which covers the long white needles. That fuzzy texture also contains the potent antioxidants that destroy free radicals. Great tasting white tea with a taste reminiscent of fresh apples. It's good to be the King!

 Naturally withered and dried. Small batch crafted and hand sorted.

The Best Tea Money Can Buy

This is hands down the best white tea I've ever had. I've been buying King of Silver Needles from the Whistling Kettle for 5+ years and this new batch is awesome. Long, clean furry buds. Winner!

One of my all time favorites.

I love this Tea. It has such a tasty flavor and it keeps getting better the more you brew and use it. Be careful not to burn the leaves with too hot of water. It taste so good with something sweet!

Very smooth, light tea

This is a very refreshing, smooth tea. Very light in color and flavor. It has very subtle flavors that are wonderful on a rainy day.

Apples?

What drew me to this was the idea of an apple tasting tea. While the taste is very subtle, it is there, and I greatly enjoy it.
