This is generally considered an exquisite white tea, from my understanding. I enjoy this tea most when I am not in the mood for anything too overwhelming (in terms of flavor and body). I definitely recommend this to anyone interested in experimenting with white teas. Tomorrow morning I plan to drink this tea “correctly” by implementing the ideal brewing and steeping procedures. I want to approach this tea properly in order to do it justice.
6 Tasting Notes
Possible my fave from the Jing White and Yellow tea taster set. Delicious, light flavours with a melony sweetness. Lovely.
Bought some from Jing Tea in the UK a few days ago and it’s the most beautiful tea I have tried. It is so calming, pure- yet complex in it’s flavours. I highly recommend!
A very good Silver Needle. A little on the pricey side, but considering this tea was picked a year ago from when I was drinking it, Jing has done a good job of ensuring the quality lasts. Wouldn’t describe it as so much melon, but more of like peach or lychee. Very soft sweetness to it with undertones of hay.
Absolutely spot on for the last cup (or two) of the day. Beautiful tea!
Lovely, really light and refreshing with a slight grassy flavour
