Taster’s Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The dry leaf doesn’t really look like any Silver Needle that I’ve ever seen before.\u00a0 I see Silver Needles in there, but, then I also see larger leaves in there, darker leaves that look a bit like Bai Mu Dan, and perhaps even some Shou Mei.\u00a0 Like a blend of at least the two, and possibly all three of these types of white tea.\u00a0 The aroma is soft and reminiscent of fresh air and hay.\u00a0 The brewed tea has a slight vegetative scent to it, and is a pale golden color – a bit darker than I’d expect from a typical Silver Needle.<\/p>\n

The flavor is very nice – but again, it doesn’t taste to me like other Silver Needle teas that I’ve tasted.\u00a0 Silver Needle tea is usually quite delicate.\u00a0 And while this does have a certain delicate quality to it, it has a fuller, rounder taste.\u00a0 It really doesn’t taste like a Silver Needle, but then again, it doesn’t taste like the Bai Mu Dan or Shou Mei teas that I’ve tried in the past either.\u00a0 This has a unique and wonderful flavor all it’s own.<\/p>\n

It is a very crisp flavor with a fair amount of astringency.\u00a0 The layers of flavor reveal vegetative notes, nutty tones and hints of flower and fruit – almost an apple-like taste with a hint of honeysuckle.\u00a0 There is even a hint of malt to this – almost like the flavor of infused hops.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed this hot, but I think I liked it even better as it cooled.\u00a0 It was very refreshing, and the tang of astringency toward the tail was very uplifting.\u00a0 Not quite what I expected from a Silver Needle tea, but, I am enjoying it nonetheless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
