  • Today, I’m looking at some of the history behind what we know today as white tea, along with some of the reasons why Silver Needle tea is considered particularly special today.

      Silver Needle is so incredibly hit or miss with me. The first one I had was from What-Cha and was so good, but the ones I've tried since then have mostly been disappointing until I got this one. And, honestly, it's even better than last year's from Valley Brook -- I didn't remember being this wowed.

    To me it's the other way around, strong tea in the morning like English/Irish Breakfast tea or good Earl Grey, and very light in the evening, like Jasmine or Rose tea.

    Silver needle is delightful,I enjoyed this video.
    I may or may not be going against the grain of popular opinion,I love Shou Mei,another type of white.
    I would love to see you do a review of that one as well!
    PS
    In 1991,I was totally lost in Barcelona for 3 DAYS!!
