This hits with melon in the back of the throat and it’s nice, where I am generally not a fan of melon tastes. The melon has pink and yellow tones, almost swirls. Then a vibrant green into medium but sparkly yellow roll over the tongue and underneath.
The flavor and scent breathing in during a sip is sweet and more yellow and pink melon. It’s definitely the main tone going on here.
Underneath that all is an earthy dark tone… Shale, crumbly light brown dirt, and the water that comes down the layers of sedimentary rocks of New York Fingerlake gullies. That gray and blue and ground -texture rock and dirt flavor when you drink it. That stabilizing and solid base for the sweet and light flavors above it.
Pinks, yellows, greens, and greys.
It fills the mouth nicely. A lovely sweet and diversely flavored tea. I’ll have to drink more over a few steeping a and all, but so far I’m really likening this!
Flavors: Dirt, Earth, Green, Melon, Sweet, Wet Rocks
White tea should have a very delicate, tender aroma and taste. Silver Needle has all the characteristics of a white tea and more. Look closely enough and you’ll notice small the white “needles” in your brew (young buds have a white peach fuzz on them). It’s an elegant, sweet, meditative brew.
