If you're ever up bright and early in ATTIC, you'll no doubt spot one of us with a big mug of Silver Needle on the go. For us, it's the perfect tea to start your day with. With a mild and delicate flavour you can really appreciate whilst your tastebuds are still fresh, it is also packed with antioxidants which cleanse and refresh the body ready for you to face the day. Imagine waking up to a field fresh with dewdrops, glistening in the pale glow of the early morning sunshine - perhaps a little difficult when you're walking along a major commuter traffic road in Bristol - but that's what we like to think is the essence of Silver Needle, in a cup!
So if you ever see us at 8.30 in the morning, brushing off the pollutants and dust from our clothes, with a dreamy look and sigh of contentment, you know why!
White Teas are produced by only picking the youngest leaves and buds, which are then steamed and dried. The tea goes through no other process, such as rolling or firing, making it the purest form of tea available.
Silver Needle is the purest of the White Teas, with the buds being picked within the first 48 hours of opening, which is what gives the leaves their silvery down. As there is no chlorophyll, it lacks the astringent, slightly ‘grassy’ taste of Green Tea, and therefore many people find it easier to drink.'
