Description

Our Kenyan Silver Needles originate from the Mount Kenya tea region in Kangaita, Kenya. Tea is grown at 5,000 to 7,000 feet above sea level in this region, where the soil is rich with minerals. These gorgeous silver needles produce a full-bodied tea with fresh cream, churned butter, roasted cashew, grilled corn, banana, and green bean notes. Kenyan Silver Needles are rich in flavor, produce a buttery texture, and have a lingering sweetness.
