Fantastic tea! I haven't reordered so I'm trying not to go through it very quickly. Its aroma is wonderful!
Silver Needle white tea is among the most revered of Chinese teas. Gathered only for a few days in early spring, a dedication to perfection is evident in the pale, ivory-colored liquor. Delicately honeysuckle floral, with a warmed sugar sweetness.

Fantastic tea! I haven't reordered so I'm trying not to go through it very quickly. Its aroma is wonderful!
This is my favorite tea that Adagio offers. Actually, it is my favorite tea period. I use 2 heaping tablespoons of tea in a kettle, and prepare an entire 1.5L pot (hot brew) that I chill overnight. It comes out perfect.
I little disappointed on the bland taste but it's ok.
Delightful tea with lingering, gentle finish. Good throughout the day.
Lovely tea. Very light and pleasant to drink. Would buy again!
Silver needle is a staple that i must keep in the pantry. Smells fantastic. Very light airy taste and when steeped it definitely has a light golden color.
not s good as expected for the cost soft clean taste
Lovely and delicate white tea. The aroma is fantastic and the aftertaste is mellow and pleasant.
I love white and green tea. the Silver Needle may be my favorite (I'm drinking a cup as I type). It has a light, sweet taste with zero astringency. Honey isn't necessary and I wouldn't recommend other sweeteners like sugars. However if you do use a sweetener, don't use a cheap, store-bought honey as it will definitely change my the flavor of this very light tea. It can be steeped at least three times (maybe more, but I stop after three).
Excellent tea, very good flavor, I use this tea to make my kombucha.
one of the best teas in this class that you can get
I'm really liking this tea. Sweet and mellow brew - May order again.
Just straight up love it. So simple, so good. Can drink any day
I brew it a little longer than usual for a white tee. I was worried it would be to grassy but it's not at all. Crisp clean and light.subtle yet flavorful it's fastly becoming one of my favorites
Not a strong tea! I know this isn't news for most but for some it is. Plus I was surprised by how weak it really was. If you like strong teas and tastes, not a good tea to try, but a great tea for those who like more subtile tastes to their teas
It took a while before my taste buds could really enjoy it, but It is one of the HEALTHIEST teas out there. I bring this tea out when i feel a cold coming on. For an extra health boost i mix it with Blood Orange...SUPREME!
I bought this and White Symphony to make a fun comparison, for a Tea Tasting with Friends. It was light, as promised: and it was fun to compare: we were aware of the Jasmine in this one.
I love this tea. It is one of the best I have tasted. Its strong but not too strong. I would definitely recommend this tea.
One of my top five teas. Light, with a lovely flowery taste. Always running out.
Was a decent tea with a ery mild flavor. Just a bit mild for my taste.
Not a big white tea drinker but this had me thinking twice. I prefer black teas but figured I would try this one and wasn't disappointed.
Wonderful smooth taste that you can enjoy anytime.
Thoroughly enjoyed this tea. Will probably get again.
Definitely prefer the loose tea on this one. Nice mild taste. Try silver needle jasmine, it's wonderful
This is a very mellow tea that I love to drink while relaxing. It also holds up to multiple steepings, so it's also good to keep in your mug while working on a project or reading a book.
I loved it. Its really soft. I'm having it every morning.
This tea is so mild I can barely taste it. :) It's a lovely flavor, but very very subtle. Lovers of mild, gentle white tea will be delighted.
I love white teas, so I thought I would sample the most expensive white tea from Adagio. I'm certainly no expert, but it doesn't taste any different from the cheaper blends. Maybe this shows my ignorance, but I'm perfectly happy with something like White Symphony or the flavored white teas.
Nice and light and I love it for a winter evening.
Mild. Not my type as I prefer strong, bold teas, usually black.
This is REALLY delicate, too delicate for my usual taste, but it's great for the occasional cup.
This white tea is expensive for a reason. Its velvety, smooth, flavorful and distinct taste is worth every penny. It's a bonus that you can steep this tea up to 5 times in my experience without any significant loss of flavor. It's a very pleasant tea which has been described as clean, fresh, delicate, lovely, light, and sweet just to name a few. I believe every tea lover should try this at least once and see if they feel the same.
Very delicate light flavor with just a hint of citrus and sweetness. Very enjoyable cup of tea and stands up well to multiple steepings. Doesn't really need anything added but I personally enjoyed just a dab of honey.
It's a very nice, refreshing tea. It doesn't have a lot of flavor, but I think sometimes it's nice to have that.
I love that this tea has a high number of antioxidants. I keep this tea at the office and use the convenient tea bags that come with it.
A good white tea, a little subtle for me, but I just over-steep it, and we're good to go.
Amazingly light and delicate tea with no grassy or vegetal flavors. Love it by itself, no sweeteners necessary. Definately worth the price.
Silver needle is subtle yet taste very good. I steep it 3 times.
So I waited a bit to try this using one of my $10 discounts because I was wondering why it was so much more expensive than some of the other teas. I had to see if it was worth it. And it really is. This stuff is so nice and light. Its not grassy like it kind of smells. Its just really really good Sign me up for more.
Light flavored. Not too strong. Great morning tea.
Nice and tasty tea with a crisp refreshing finish that is even fruity. I will be purchasing more
Light. Too light. I tried steeping longer, but ended up with lukewarm weak tea.
A good white tea. Can drink it all day and never get bored.
Delicious! This is one of my favorites. Delicate flavors.
An awesome silver needle. This is a good one to keep in stock around the house.
This tea did not bring out its flavor as I had expected.
Smooth with hints of full body green tea leaves. Velvety tonic!
The leaves are long and tightly curled (hence the name). Very distinct aroma both before and after brewing. A light but flavorful drink.
This is the best white tea I have had. It has a great taste that is slightly more bold if you steep it a little longer than 3 or 4 minutes. You can even re-steep it 2 or 3 times to get the most out the tea leaves. It is a little bit pricer than most white teas, but I definitely think it's worth it.
one of my very favorites. A delicate, lovely tea that's one of my standbys.
