This is my first white tea, and I have to say that I am lacking the vocabulary to describe it. It’s extremely mild, with just the slightest hint of bitterness at the back of the palette after it is swallowed. The flavor can only be described as . . . tea, and perhaps a bit of hay. It’s not unpleasant, but I’m not jumping up and down over it.
Flavors: Hay, Tea
Preparation
185 °F / 85 °C
1 min, 0 sec
2 tsp
Well that doesnt sounds right – keep with white tea as most is pretty lovely tasting imho
It’s probably not a very high quality white; it was extremely cheap.
Silver needle is usually pretty expensive. You should be able to brew it for a lot more than 1 minute as well. Mine I do 2:30-3 minutes
