Zhejiang Silver Needle

White Tea by EnjoyingTea.com

This white tea with a white downy appearance comes from the province of Zhejiang. The Silver Needle, highest quality white tea, is picked during the spring before the buds open to preserve its tenderness. Exquisite and delicate, Silver Needle has a fresh, sweet fragrance and produces a pale yellow brew. Brewing with a Yixing teapot can best show the aroma of Silver Needle. This tea has high concentrations of polyphenols (antioxidants that help fight against cancer-causing radicals and heart disease)

Very nice! A lovely sweet flavor with faint floral notes. Delicate and smooth.

This almost tastes like a yellow tea – almost, and by the color of the liquor, it looks a lot like a yellow tea.

It has a light, silky mouthfeel to it. Very luxurious… it’s like I’m being pampered by my tea. I like this one a lot.

Backlog:

A really fantastic Silver Needle. Sweet with a lovely delicate quality. Fresh tasting with mellow vegetative tones.

VERY Flavorful for a unflavored white. Sweet with hints of pepper, perhaps? Very slippery on the tongue. Lovely aftertaste. I had no idea I would enjoy this one THIS much! YUM!
