- The new growth of a tea plant is known for having the best flavor and fragrance, so this style of white tea—comprised completely of individual leaf buds—is justifiably prestigious. The style originated in Fujian Province; it’s handpicked in early spring, when the pale silver and sage green buds are still covered in fine downy hair. This version is made in the coastal area of Fuding from the traditional Bai Hao cultivar. It boasts sweet hay, wildflower honey, and corn silk aromas, backed by herbacious and citrus notes. The flavor is light but pleasing, reminiscent of an almond croissant dusted with cinnamon; subsequent steeps bring out its savory side, hinting of green olive and toasted nuts.
- The beauty in this tea is in its subtlety, its consistency, and in its unmistakable Chaqi. A session with this tea is conducive to a quiet, blissful mood, rather than an edge-of-the-seat rollercoaster experience one would get with a Dancong Oolong or young raw puer tea. The Silver Needle has always been one of the most refined, exquisite, and alas, expensive teas available in the Chinese tea market, but one session with this excellently sourced tea should show you exactly why this is.
- The brew is a pale yellow gold thick with tea down. On the tongue this tea is thick, but modest, in Chinese they use the term or cream flavor to describe a tea like this, and all the while the sweet honeysuckle remains present as a dominant flavor. Around the third or fourth infusion, the vegetation returns thickening up the mouthfeel and giving a boost of sweet pea flower fragrance to the cup.
- Silver Needle has a very distinctive appearance. This years pick of Silver Needle is incredibly consistent and very early. The buds are all very small, only a few centimeters in length.
- When brewing in a covered bowl, you can fully appreciate the changes of each brew of white tea, and you can feel the aroma, color, and shape of the tea. Take about 5g of white silver needles into a Gaiwan, slowly brew with water of about 90 degrees, and share with a fair cup.
- Clean the glass, use a 300-500 ml glass to make tea, and the amount of tea is about 3 grams. Then pour in the boiling water, and wait until the tea soup is a little cool and you can drink it. You can add water when there is about one-third of the tea soup left!
Customer Reviews
Questo tè è davvero unico mai assaggiato nulla di simile il.migliore te bianco mai provato consiglio a tutti di provarlo!
The pekoe is rich, the buds are fat, and the fragrance is rich. It feels more like an orchid fragrance, and the mouth-to-mouth fragrance is relatively long-lasting. Just look at the bud heads for the first picking. But absolutely worth it.
The aroma is very high and long-lasting. After brewing, there is a pure tea fragrance, and the taste is fresh and refreshing. As soon as you enter the mouth, you know that it is a new tea of this year.
After soaking, the bottom of the leaf is intact and fresh, and the pekoe is still there. It has a unique wilderness atmosphere, fresh and sweet, and it is delicious.
It is hard to find high quality fresh baihao silver needle and this tea is it. It is exactly what I was looking for. Very nice. Delicate, fresh, clean.
