Indigobloom drank Silver Needle by Teaopia

1759 tasting notes

I don’t remember much from this one, being that I consumed it in the midst of an “omg emergency at the office” moment.
Thankfully, I atleast had an opp to try it before stepping into said office, so I remember it tasting quite earthy in the way I always wished that pu’erhs to be (but just aren’t) with crisp white notes on top.
But then… as it cooled, a sweet honey note came out underneath that pretty much replaced that earthiness. It was almost a milk oolong honey.
Anyhow, that’s about all I remember. That, and thinking that it wasn’t much different from the white tea I tried not long ago. One of those teas I would have to try side by side to really suss out the difference.
I’m a little frustrated with this one! actually, in general today, with my teas.

Oooh, your tea note makes me want to consider ignoring poor customer service and going into the store for this one! Maybe I’ll try the shop at Mayfair Mall this time instead of on Fort St. …

Let’s see… I’m a tea and workout fanatic, I work in HR, and most of my friends consider me to be an egg. White on the outside, Asian on the inside :)
-from philosophy to food, I love it all
Otherwise, what you see is what you get! I can be very straightforward and yet shy.

Also, I’ve started taking tea sommelier classes and it is an absolute blast! Well, so far I’ve only finished the first out of eight courses, but I am really looking forward to the next one.

Anyhow, if your curious as to how I rate things, this is how I work…

0-25
Like eating dirt, or some other unsanitary indelicacy that mentioning in my profile here would likely get me banned.
I don’t think I’ve found cause to banish a tea to the wasteland yet though so who knows what it’d inspire ;P

25-50
You know that expression “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”? I imagine drinking that water would be terrible enough to warrant this rating!
I’d never make my enemy drink this, but perhaps I’d throw it at them. Good thing I don’t have any enemies!

50-70
This is “tea”?? I tried finishing the cup… but my body rejected it. There may be others who enjoy this tea, but it’s beyond me!

70-80
I tried liking it, and I can almost get there! I certainly don’t hate it, but something is holding me back. Allergies? Men in white suits? who knows… certainly not me!

80-90
Lovely tea! Not my all time fave but close. I likely wouldn’t repurchase, but may decide to based on many factors: price, accessibility, whether it fills a “tea gap”, medicinal applications, and how often I crave it.
Every once in awhile I find the sweet spot that bumps these up to 90+. Those are the days I need to buy a lotto ticket!

90-95
Sweet Camellia! this is realllly good tea! Don’t talk to me until I’ve finished my cup…

95-100
Tea of the gods. I would do anything to get my hands on more of this liquid gold!
