Gopaldhara Rose Scented Silver Needle Darjeeling White Tea

Exquisitely floral, delicately sweet, and crafted with rare precision — Gopaldhara Rose Scented Silver Needle White Tea is a luxurious bud-only white tea from one of Darjeeling’s highest and most celebrated estates.

Made using only the finest young silver buds, this tea undergoes a traditional natural-scenting process: the tender tea buds are dried gently alongside whole rose blossoms, allowing the flowers to release their subtle perfume into the tea. Over several days, the rose aroma is slowly absorbed into each needle; once the perfect flavour balance is achieved, the buds are separated and hand-packed with great care.

The result is a pale golden cup that is smooth, mildly sweet, and beautifully fruity, lifted by the soft perfume of fresh roses. Free from bitterness and deeply comforting, it carries the signature high-mountain clarity and purity that Darjeeling white teas are loved for.
