Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Submit
Aroma
Fresh floral aromas with soft green nuances, lifted by a gentle, natural honeyed sweetness.
Appearance
Champagne
Taste
A light-bodied, brisk cup with a silky-smooth texture that glides gracefully across the palate, offering a sense of clarity and refinement in every sip.

Delicate floral notes reminiscent of fresh spring blossoms appear at the forefront, gently intertwined with a soft honeyed sweetness that brings warmth and balance to the cup. Subtle hints of young stone fruit add a tender fruitiness, while a crisp vegetal nuance lends brightness and structure, enhancing its layered character.

As the infusion unfolds, the green accents gradually soften, giving way to a clean, refreshing sweetness that lingers delicately. Elegant and uplifting, it captures the vibrant charm of spring from the lush, verdant hills.

A special one

Very happy I decided to get this tea - I think it’s the best one I’ve tried so far. It’s 3 for the price of one really, as I am able to get a great cup out of the same leaves with a second and third 5-minute steeping. Delicate, smooth and very pleasant, with no bitterness even from the third cup.

Lovely

It is a lovely tea. It is light, slightly sweet and amazingly refreshing, even when I let it brew longer it is never bitter. Lovely tea. Perfect for my afternoon reading time.

This is one of my favorite teas.

White tea is a premium leaf.

Hmm. White teas are the premium of tea leaves, and the silver needles create a delightful tea. Weak or strong, this tea is a refreshing way to enjoy a tea without the trappings of milk, sugar or lemon. The fragrance is delicate. The taste a lingering one on the palate. Ideal palate cleanser too. An uplifting tea to enjoy when you need a mental boost or a lighter tea.

A little more body.

This has just a bit more body than other white teas that I have had. There is an under taste that is a sort of lemony-earth taste that I like.

Tea for all tea lovers.

Aroma of the tea is very nice. Our whole family members have really enjoyed the same. But one issue is there that you are increasing the price in all purchases. Please review it and give your tea lovers some relaxations.

Good quality to sip

It has a refreshing and mild taste, no doubt, but does not have the subtle floral taste that some other white teas have. This has the *slightest* bitter after taste. Not sure if this is supposed to be the case for white teas?

All I can say is wow wow what a miraculous tea!I received my parcel yesterday and the packaging is too good to mention.When I opened it, was too happy and I just prepared my cup of white tea of which the taste was floral and sweet.I started noticing changes as I was taking the tea.Honestly i would feel changes in my legs like circulation of blood taking place and i prepared a second cup of tea but never put sugar in both.I will stick to white tea and will never buy anyother tea.I'm convinced after more consumption more changes will be noticed.Thanks Teabox.

Excellent flavor! I generally use loose tea, but sometimes a teabag is convenient.

Darjeeling silver needle is the best tea that I've tasted so far. It's much better than nilgiri white as that doesn't have the kind of sweetness and freshness this have. This one has the better kick. Total satisfaction guaranteed.

Tastes very good when sweetened.

A great white tea, revealing his full flavor at room temperature

I love to drink it a bit at room temperature, definitely not hot - then it reveals his full flavor. Sometimes it makes me feel like being there, at the plantation :) I discovered this tea last year and is revealed to be a new dimension in experiencing white teas.

I purchased it to send it to Luxembourg. But I have used your tea of different flavours and they were awesome.

Very soothing and mild flavor. Need to be careful not to oversteep it as that can ruin the flavor. All in all, a great product for tea connoisseurs out there.
