Punchy!
By: on 30 September 2024
I enjoyed drinking silver needles and wanted to broaden my horizons, and I chose this tea. I am still new to tea so the twigginess of the leaves, and some of the leaves being a little crushed had me worried. Needlessly worried in the end, as when i poured my first steep, it was wonderful! the brew was beautifully clear, no muddiness, just plenty of leaf hairs. id describe it like silver needles but more, and with a bit of a peppery, punchy snap. like the littlest amount of astringency, like a cherry on top, not overpowering like a fresh green tea. So smooth and delicious.
