Bai Hao Yin Zhen (Silver Needle) White Tea (Organic) from Seven Cups
80

Oh the sweetness of this tea, how it lifts my day. The first two steeps of this tea are pure, viscous and sweet silvery delight. Downright juicy. Bright, clean strawberry and white sugar, mingled amongst orchid and lily floral notes. Not as grassy, hay-like, or complex as certain sources I’ve sampled, but incredibly clean, dazzlingly bright, and with a superb level of sweetness on the forefront. My only real criticism of this tea is that it thins out in the third and fourth steeps a bit more than I would like. Gives a glowing, warm, fresh qi.

Bio

Exploring the world of fine Chinese and Japanese teas, my favorites include: sheng pu’er, moderately roasted oolongs, gyokuro, shincha, and high quality, artisanal whites and greens. I don’t subscribe to any particular style of brewing, but incorporate elements from traditional techniques to brew the best tea possible. I also seek to share the joy that tea brings me with others, but am really rather introverted.
