drank Silver Needle #1 by Educational TTB 2
268 tasting notes

The leaves were long and plump and I could definitely see why they might be called needles. The color was a light grey-green with some fuzz. They smelled sweetly vegetal and brewed up and an extremely light yellow liquor. The overall characteristics of this tea were a really light, sweet taste that I enjoyed quite a bit. It was also a little vegetal and a little mineral. As it cooled, it developed a buttery quality and a really nice mouthfeel.

Tea-obsessed, book worm scientist.

I love black tea, especially Chinese black tea- I’m looking at you Fujians and Yunnans! I also enjoy Indian teas, mostly first flush darjeelings (and a select few assams).
I think I’m recently starting to like oolongs better though- gasp! I’ve been cheating on my black teas with all these lovely, alluring green floral oolongs. Sorry I’m not sorry.
White tea gets a lot of love too! I am particularly fond of silver needle whites.
I can’t seem to appreciate green teas and rooibos is foul, IMO.

Other interests: Books! Board games! Nerdy entertainment like Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, Game of Thrones, Sherlock, all the nature documentaries, etc etc. Also Disney!

I’m up for swaps!
