Amani has been one of my favourite vendors to stop by and say hello to at TO Tea Festival. Each year they seem to have something new and delicious to sample, and this year I was thrilled to see a Kenyan Silver Needle had been added to their line up. It’s very smooth with the most wonderful fresh and herby aroma to the dry leaf. Steeped up it’s light to medium-bodied with distinct notes of rosemary and sage alongside a gentle woodiness and undertones of creamed honey. Quite approachable, and I love the more savory sort of lean to the flavour compared to Silver Needle from more common terroirs like China. Definitely a very solid addition to my ever growing tea stash. Can’t wait to see what new teas await me from Amani next year!!
