Silver Needle

White Tea by Tranquil Tea Lounge

The silver needle white tea is found north of the Fujian province in China where white tea originated. Only the budding leaf is plucked. The bright, slightly rose-colored cup develops a soft, fragrant bouquet and a tender mild taste with notes of apricot.

I’m new to tea tasting, so this rating may be because I’m inexperienced. I like the subtle flavor of the tea, a little buttery, but I don’t taste the apricot or anything else. I might have brewed it wrong. :/

Just right – and yet so hard to describe!

This tea uses its indoor voice. It has the soft, delicate flavor that a quality silver needle should. The flavor is strong enough to stand on its own yet not over-done for a white tea. It makes a great cup by itself and serves as a wonderful foundation for blending.

It’s easy to get and not terribly expensive – give it a try!
