I am new to white teas. The flavor of this Silver Needle tea is delighful, though I notice the leaves do not look like the plump ones on Tealyra's ad. Rely on your knowledge about that. My photos were "before & after" brewing; no pre-rinse.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Fantastic tea! I'm new to tea drinking as a ritual. The teas I've had before were horrible. Simply horrible. No flavor, dust, and frankly a waste of money. Organic or not. I never understood what the rage was about. Having had a decent tea- " _azo," I thought 'hmm there may be something to this?' Alas the nylon bag was not up to my health standard. Imagine a petroleum based product (tea bag) in near boiling water that you are drinking?. Nahhh. That was not going to work. I needed an affordable tea, that could offer serious quality, flavor, and be organic! I had ordered loose fine whole coffee beans before and knew for better coffee you had to do some searching at real coffee purveyors; dedicated fine coffee bean shops. Finely I decided to take the dip and order loose leaf tea, from a tea purveyor, (Tealux) and boy was I blown away! Incredible rich white tea flavor! Smooth, delicate,layered and not bitter. Rich enough to replace good coffees. If you are looking for a new morning ritual, and are willing to pay the outrageous prices for coffee at a certain coffee shop, try really good organic white/green tea! The prices for Tealux are moderately high but not nearly as high as the so-called "BEST" white/green teas. And definitely no higher per serving I've found, than what many people are willing to pay for a cup of very mediocre coffee at a certain shop....... You really are missing out. To complete the ritual I bought a gorgeous Michael Graves tea kettle from "electronic bay" and the FORLIFE LUCENT Glass Teapot with Basket Infuser for steeping my tea from Amazon. FORLIFE LUCENT Glass Teapot with Basket Infuser, 24-Ounce, Charcoal Lets me drink my tea in style and incredible functionality!. 5 stars for this tea!

    Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    I am a foodie and artist, appreciating well made food with great flavor, drinks as well, and timeless art. Regarding this tea, I was surprised at the long lasting light flavor and gorgeous color. It is my first time trying White Tea. I recently fell in love with Oolong tea. Ok, although the bag suggests using 1 to 1.5 teaspoons per 8oz glass (of course teaspoons by sight does not make sense since the leaves take up volume. I used a digital food scale.) I weighed out 1 gram of those beautiful needle shaped tea leaves. Placed them in my twisted to close infuser. Added 16 oz. of hot water about 190 degrees F as suggested with a little Splenda for sweetness, you can use non, sugar, or honey per you taste. Anyway, I let it steep for about 4 minutes and removed the infuser and enjoyed one of the best cups of tea I've had to date. I then went ahead and used that same infuser with leaves to steep 2 more cups!!!! Yes, he flavor of 1 gram of the leaves to me at least, was strong enough for 4 cups (32 oz.) of magnificent tea. Go ahead and order with assurance. Thumbs way up! I will def. will be re-ordering from them in the future.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A great white tea, and a great starter if you've never tried white teas.
    Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2017

    If you have never tried White Tea before this is a great starting place. Should you enjoy teas such as Jasmine Pearls or Dragon Well, you should certainly try this out. A light tea with floral and less-grassy flavors than one would get with green tea. A really fantastic price:quality ratio and the best Silver Needle you are going to find on Amazon.

    This is certainly not top-shelf white tea but is great to have on hand when you're not going for the good stuff.

    It is highly recommended that you have a solid-bodied air-tight container to put this tea inside of when it arrives. Tealyra's bags are re-sealable and that's not an issue; but these tea leaves are fragile and you don't want them to get crushed or broken up while in storage. It is also recommended that you measure out this tea (and other large-leaf teas that are too-big for a teaspoon measurement like Dragon Well (or any top-shelf tea period)) by weight in grams using a scale and not by measuring spoon for best results. Make sure to use the correct temperature and do not prepare like a green or black tea. We tend to use a little more tea and a little less time than the bag calls for but we like to get at least two or three steeps from the leaves. Tea benefits from a tea-bath before brewing for best flavor extraction; but tea dust has thus-far with this product not been an issue for us.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It's deliciously slightly sweet, fresh tasting and organic!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2014
    Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    This tea is organic, absolutely delicious and gets my day off to a peaceful start. White tea has the highest antioxidant levels and that's why I make a point to drink it. The flavor of this silver needle white tea is beyond compare. It's slightly sweet and fresh tasting. You can taste its goodness. It smells wonderful while steeping. And, remember, it's organic which is what you want. Conventional teas are heavily sprayed with dangerous pesticides, rendering them toxic. Organic teas are not sprayed and, therefore, do not have toxic residue in and on them.

    This tea will remain a healthy staple for me, and I highly recommend it. If you're thinking about purchasing it, please do it because you will be happy you did.

    The taste was a bit weak for me. If you like a gentle white tea, that may be a good thing. I think my pouch may have been a little past its prime though. Price is decent for loose white tea, and I've liked other teas from this brand. That said, not sure I'll go with this specific type again.
