Tealyra - Imperial Yunnan Silver Needle - White Loose Leaf Tea - Caffeine Level Low - 100g (3.5-Ounce)

Beautiful and subtly sweet tea. Stunning aroma from the point of opening the bag to every cup each morning. Definitely recommend doing a little extra research on white tea, so the delicate taste and experience can truly be brought out. A thick walled glass cup, spring or mineral water boiled in a cast iron pot, makes a big difference in our opinion !! Watching the needle leaves rise to the top, then twirl and dance vertically as they gently infuse and eventually swim to the bottom, this tea can be drunk as a meditative experience similar to that of a Japanese tea ceremony. We re-brew the same leaves for a second cuppa with a few additional green tea leaves added in.Also, a great many thanks to the seller for leaving this at an affordable price. Please keep it so, offers/discounts would be lovely too :)Very grateful to mother nature for the gift of tea, the planters that grow them, the pluckers, the packers and all the many warm hands and loving hearts these leaves pass through to reach our lips. x

I am a big tea lover and I think also quite picky. I mainly drink green teas - Japanese sencha is my number one choice. Though I tried many white teas as well. I do not drink black teas or coffee. During my pregnancy, I wanted something with less caffeine, so white tea was a natural option for my morning tea routine. During the Covid crisis, they closed my favorite tea shop and I decided to find something on Amazon. I have to say, I really love this tea and I think it is unbelievably good value for money. Dried leaves have an amazing smell. The tea has a very light taste- obviously nutty as white tea should be, but I also feel something grassy in there (just a hint), which I really like. I will definitely buy it again.

Lovely tea, just be sure to give it time to brew. 3 or 4 leaves in a cup is fine and you can reuse them if you desire.

This smelt good when the packet was first opened and is a good, clean, sweet tasting white tea for the price.

Im a long way from being a tea connoisseur but over the course of a year I do try out quite a few and this is one of the nicer ones. I have a small glass teapot (sacrilege I know), as my wife can't stand tea so only small pot required, this allows me to see the tea as it brews. For first brew it does take about 5 mins for the rich brown/golden colour to show. The flavour (I don't use milk) is quite subtle but very pleasant, no bitterness, but not flowery either. The taste is slightly nutty and lingers on the tongue after swallowing. I find that you can get two brews out of one lot of "leaves", with the second just as nice as the first but quicker to brew.The tea comes supplied in a re-sealable packet so no other storage medium required.

Great taste, not much dust / bits in the bottom of the packet. Highley recommended.

Weird taste (negative). I love most types of tea - no matter what type - but this tasted awful. Sorry - it cost me £15-£16 and it was awful.

This tea is super fragrant and light to taste. It has amazing health benefits such as fighting bad bacteria in your mouth,loaded with antioxidants and promotes anti-ageing. Also I use small batch for few infusions and defo getting my money worth.
