Silver Needle (Bai Hao Yin Zhen) White Tea

Very smooth and delicate tea. The taste is light, refined, and not overpowering at all. I especially noticed that it doesn’t cause any anxiety or jitteriness, which makes it perfect for relaxed drinking. Overall, a subtle and calming experience with a high-quality flavor

Lots of honey notes. Wonderful clear liquid. LOTS of trichomes. Very good example of a high quality silver needle.

A really good example of a silver needle, and one of the best white teas I've ever had in general. It can withstand high temperatures without becoming astringent or bitter, and retains it's wonderful flavour for over a dozen steeps. There's no way you could regret having bought this tea

Good quality

Very good

It's a good experience to try, here it's a question of texture and not of powerful taste or smell. It's a very delicate and aerial texture that i liked, i would not get it as daily drink but it's good occasionaly.

Very nice.., its difficult for me to really describe beauties of white teas. Maybe after some more years of tasting. For now i can say ethereal and delicate body sensation. Nice dew and flower aromas and im a bit sad and happy after i toss the leaves. As now the bag is 5 grams lighter but satisfied

Lekkere thee, mooi verpakt, snel bezorgd

Beautiful packaging, fairly small tea leaves compared to the same tea with jasmine. The flavor is soft and delicate, perfect for breakfast.

The website, all the information, the delivery deserve praise. Easy and efficient. I ordered silver needle, which I always do but it came somewhat subpar quality compared to other shops, in the Netherlands and in China.

I usually brew this tea at 80°C for 4 minutes and it tastes amazing.

Exellent

Very nice and pleasent tea!

Tasted with an oriental infusion, this very fresh tea is characterized by delicate buds that shine with silvery shades at first contact with water, and bloom like a flower at the first infusion, releasing a fresh, almost magical purity into the cup.
The barely noticeable astringency quickly softens, leaving a delicate sweetness and a creamy scent on the palate.
The silver reflections of the buds are gradually replaced by warmer golden tones that characterize the liqueur. With each subsequent infusion, an increasingly intense floral note appears that recalls rose flowers and aromatic herbs but also a light aftertaste of honey. Fruity nuances emerge at the finish, similar to winter melon and pear.

Soft Swiss chard aroma with subtle seaweed undertone.

Brewing: 4g/80ml, 80°C, 30s, +10s.

Warmed-up dry leaves smell like pine needles, due to the perfect combination of chlorophyll and camphor. When wet, notes of green leafy vegetables appear.

The liquor has the same pine needle aroma, completed nicely by wild flowers and grilled vegetables. All in all, it's a spectacular example of what can be done with green teas.
