This is a very nice silver needle. Is it worth the price point? I don’t know. I’ve tried my sample once, now I want to compare it to other silver needle teas including Mei leafs before I decide if it’s worth springing for.
Prepared mostly as directed, 4g to 100ml 205 degree water, with a 30 second first infusion after a short rinse. Added about 5 seconds to each infusion after and got 9 infusions.
Very creamy and nutty. I could def taste the soy milk note they talk about. A bit of a grassy note in infusion 5, but mostly, creamy, nutty, and slightly sweet with a very pleasant aftertaste.
Finding Fuding Silver Needle is harder than it should be. I know One River Tea and Bitterleaf have it, though can’t vouch for the quality. Tao Tea Leaf has Zhenghe Silver Needle, which is from a nearby region. All the good ones will be expensive.
Thanks for the tips Leafhopper, I will check them out.
