A rare single estate silver needle white tea, from India.
Estate: Doke
Region: Bihar
Flush: 2nd Flush
Our Category: Premium Tea
Why we selected this tea: A wonderfully soft-tasting white tea. Impressively reviewed by many tea writers across the globe, Doke is at the forefront of a movement that is seeing India and to an extent Sri Lanka challenge China as the home of silver needle style teas. Having a second flush (usually there is only one per year in China) adds a depth of flavour. There are clean fruity tones and a light earthy quality.
Making a Pot: (Start with our method and adjust to taste): Boil the kettle and then let it stand for two minutes. Infuse 2 to 3 grams of tea per 175 grams of water. Brew for 2 minutes. Drain liquid off and reserve leaves for further steepings. Add about 1 minute seconds each re-steeping. We usually get 3 or 4 steepings.
Note: This tea is packed in paper bags. Select as many 50g lots as you wish e.g, a quantity of 4 equals 200g. If you wish to buy a kilo at wholesale prices, email us.
