I have tried many kinds of tea, and quite honestly don't like many. However, the tea I tried before wasn't fresh. I know now, because I bought this tea. Potent and aromatic, just opening the small twist-tied bag shows just what quality this tea is.

1.6 oz for $17 may seem incredibly pricy for some, but honestly, you won't go back to drinking the cheap stuff ever again. Also, you don't need much to make a couple usable infusions.

Flowery and light, this tea smells, looks, and tastes fresh in every cup. It would be easy to overload with the amount of tea used... so try no more than a pinch for a 12 oz cup. You may have to wait a few minutes, but the result will be fine.

This supplier and this tea will not dissappoint. Fast shipping, excellent quality.

I will be buying my tea from them from now on.

This is a good product, delivery was on time and there were no problems. To help others who might have "problems" I will note the following:
1. This is not the best white tea I have had, but it is of good quality at a reasonable price.
2. Like other white tea, it is very sensitive to temperature and steeping time.
3. Some people find white tea flat or flavorless, a pinch of lavender or other agent will help.

I'm very happy with this purchase. The tea not only has a great flavor with NO bitterness, but also has all those great health benefits. I've been able to re-brew the tea a couple of times or more so a little goes a long way.

As a tea enthusiast, I have never tasted a finer tea than silver needle.

It gives a light and yet rich flavor without any of the bitterness you find in bagged tea. It's so good, there is no point in adding sugar.

This is expensive stuff, and worth every penny. Fantastic and exotic, it makes a real treat to serve guests.
