When I'm trying a new white tea, I don't want any other flavors cluttering up the experience. I think I became a fan of Silver Needle after reading one of Laura Child's mysteries mentioning that tea, and I do love the pretty bow-like appearance of the Bai Mei you show up top. I love that some artisans took the time to craft this!Angela McRaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10928913868086900802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436268.post-20667818170677756682013-01-16T07:29:49.537-08:002013-01-16T07:29:49.537-08:00Great post, Stephanie!

Silver Needle (and I think any white tea) also has to be picked before the sun comes up (see http://metro-deco.com/silver-needle-white-tea-jasmine-yinzhen), which is what makes it white. The biggest mistake you can make when drinking white tea is scalding it. <br /><br />Glad you're enjoying the world's greatest drink.
