I took a bit of a pause this last week on drinking through the teas I picked up at Toronto Tea Festival, but I’m back to working my way through them. Generally speaking, if I’m given the choice between a Bai Mu Dan or Bai Hao Yin Zhen (aka Silver Needle, like this one), I’ll actually pick the Bai Mu Dan. I’m a very big fan of the creamier, cooling cucumber pulp notes that I typically find much more prevalent in White Peony. However, this Silver Needle was actually very creamy tasting with a thicker, more velvety body. Notes of almond milk, vanilla, delicate honey, freshly whipped cream, and just a bit of that cucumber pulp note I love so much along with a subtle fruity but not-so-sweet mix of honeydew and horned melon. The horned melon is interesting because it also has a bit of a cucumber sort of note to it, but a little greener and with a slightly underripe banana taste, too. It’s quite complex, and I think it’s a really nice way to jump back into sipping through this Tea Festival haul!!
