Yin Zhen (Silver Needle) from Canton Tea Co
79

First of all I would like to thank Canton tea for this free sample.

I have steeped this one in my gaiwan 3mins 175F.
I have done 6 infusion atm.
The color is a pale yellow in all the infusions I have done.
The fragrance is really floral, especially in later steepings.
The taste is creamy at the beginning with notes of raw sugar and vanilla, and ends with floral essence.
The aftertaste is really persistent; but I didn’t like it very much.

I don’t think it is so light and delicate as some are saying.

In conclusion I think it is a nice tea, but there are a lot more I prefer; especially for the aftertaste.
