Backlog from last night.
Teavivre gave me 3 packets of tea to sample, one of which I gave to a friend. Of the two remaining, I used a whole packet to brew it in my gaiwan about a month ago. Now, I’ve opened up the last remaining packet.
I must say that of all the jasmine teas I’ve tried from Teavivre, this one is my favourite. The jasmine here is beautiful and strong, but not overpowering with the metallic taste I’ve found in some jasmine teas. Here, the flavour is sweet at the back. This is just such a gorgeous tea.
I steeped it twice, both times for two minutes, and got a beautiful clear yellowish liquor that shaded down to dark green as the tea sat in my mug. The flavour was clear, sweet, and jasminy, with a somewhat thick mouthfeel but otherwise very fresh and relaxing.
I don’t consider myself a fan of white teas, so it’s doubly lovely to find such a gem.

This sounds like it would be lovely, especially since I enjoy TeaVivre’s silver needle. :)
I adore this one.
I love this tea. It’s one of my favorites. It’s the perfect amount of jasmine.
I just bought this one on their anniversary sale, can’t wait to try it!
@Darby: the leaf on this one is very fluffy, so it’s kind of hard to measure. However, I think that because of the strength of the jasmine flavour it’s okay to underleaf this slightly.
Isn’t silver needle the prettiest leaf! I’m cold brewing a rose silver needle now.
