A white tea whose dry leaves remind me of a silver-leaf maple tree. Some of the leaves are silver and some are dark in color. The leaves are whole little seed pod looking things.
The brewing directions from RedLeafTea:
Hot (not boiling) water for 4-8 minutes
I had the leaves in hot water for 4 minutes. The taste of this tea is floral with a hint of jasmine maybe in the background. If you don’t like flowers in your cup, you will probably not like this tea. I can’t really put my finger on why I don’t like this, but the perfume in my mouth is screaming at me, so the floral notes are going to be the downfall of this delicate white tea.
You can purchase the Silver Needle directly from the Red Leaf Tea website.
