White Tea Sampler

Explore Three Rare Spring Harvests

Create your own tasting flight with this curated set of three premium, single-origin organic white teas from China. Each tea in this collection comes from the same tea bush varietals and follows the same traditional processing methods—yet the flavor, aroma, and intensity vary beautifully. These differences come from harvest timing and the pluck style (the ratio of tender buds to mature leaves), making this sampler a perfect way to explore the nuances of high-quality white tea.

The sampler includes 5 grams of each tea, plus a pack of Reusable Cotton Tea Bags to help you begin brewing right away.

Teas Included

Silver Needles
The rarest and most coveted white tea. Made exclusively from the first young buds of early spring, true Silver Needles is produced in very limited quantities each year. It yields a delicate, peachy cup with a buttery mouthfeel and a lightly floral aroma. Our current lot was harvested in late March 2024.

White Peony (Bai Mudan / Pai Mu Tan)
Harvested just after Silver Needles, this white tea includes both buds and young leaves. Our high-grade White Peony has an unusually large proportion of silvery buds, giving it a fuller body and deeper stone-fruit character than Silver Needles while retaining its signature freshness. Harvested in early April 2024.

Spring White (Shou Mei)
Made from more mature leaves and some stems, this style of white tea is ideal for everyday drinking and shines both hot and cold brewed. Spring White offers a richer, more robust version of the White Peony flavor profile—fruity, smooth, and satisfying with enough structure to pair well with food. Harvested in mid-April 2024.

Brewing Guidelines

White teas are best brewed at lower temperatures to extract their delicate flavors without introducing bitterness.

Silver Needles: 2 g (about 1 Tablespoon) / 180 °F (80 °C) / 5 - 6 minutes

White Peony: 2 g (about 1 Tablespoon) / 180 °F (80 °C) / 4 - 6 minutes

Spring White: 2 g (about 1.5 Tablespoons) / 180 °F (80 °C) / 3 - 5 minutes
