Silver Needle Customer Reviews

The best white tea by FAR. It offers exceptional taste and tranquilitiy.

This didn't have much flavor. I suspect white tea is not for me.

A wonderfully light and clear-tasting white tea. My favorite.

I've sampled 17 Adagio teas in the last week, and I particularly enjoyed the subtlety of this one. It's refreshing, with a light scent of fruit and flowers. I'm excited to explore white teas as a result, and will be picking up the white sampler next.

I do not particularly like white tea, and though I thought I would sample this... it is not my favorite.

I love this tea it's nice and smooth. It makes you feel warm and cozy inside.

I love white tea and the subtle flavor of the silver needle is a wonderful tea to sip throughout my workday.

I prefer flavored teas, so I generally mix this one with either herbal peppermint or white blueberry to give it more flavor.

The first time I made it, I must not have used enough or steeped it long enough. It seemed bland and watered down. The second time I got it right and wow. Great, subtle taste with a curious sweetness. I need to order more.

I just got my tea today and this is the first one I tried and its great. It has a very light taste and a very subtle change in color. so subtle in fact I almost let it steep to long.

I really enjoy the subtle flavor of this tea: it's just a bit beyond simple. Definitely my favorite white - I will purchase more.

Light, sweet, and refreshing, this is my favorite of the white teas.

Beautiful, my first experiance with a loose leaf whites tea. I loved it.

2nd of the white teas tried. I prefer the white peony over this. Strong aroma, some co-workers found that unpleasant.

Absolutely the best white tea I have ever tasted. None of the bitterness of cheaper white teas.

nice flavor, but left a funny aftertaste. vert tasty with a little honey added.

A very nice sweet flavor. I enjoyed this tea a lot. I will be buying more.

This tea is subtly flavored, which makes it excellent for days when you are tired of strong teas. It is slightly sweet and not at all smokey.

Silver Needle is my favorite varitiey of Tea that I've tried so far. It is smooth and subtle.

Very light tea. Prefer a little more flavour to my teas. Good tea when not in the mood for something heavy.

I had never tried white tea before - but this is a great 'first experience'

Maybe I brewed it wrong, but this tea tasted far too plant-like for me. It was like drinking boiled grass.

I'm not a big fan of white teas. I generally like stronger flavor, but this was nice and light. I'm glad I tried it for a change.

great sweet taste. Not weak at all. Nice gold color. Try w/o sweetner and just might be surprised. My 5 year old daughter loves this tea.

My first attempt at pure white tea and it was AWESOME!! There's something about this tea that really make me enjoy every sip!! Try the sample at least if you're cautious!!

A really subtle, refined tea. Not for every mood, but if it's what you want, there are few substitues. Worth every penny.

Silver needle is one of the more flavorful white teas, and has a very sweet, delicate aroma. Even my friends who aren't fond of white teas are attracted to this one. If you're interested in trying a non-flavored white tea, this makes a great start.

This is the first white tea I chose to try after sampling many other great varieties. I had read that white teas are generally more subtle, and this is very true. If you are used to drinking stronger teas, it can take some adjustment, but once you have had a few cups you really start to appreciate the subtle flavors and differences. I enjoy this tea very much.

I don't know if I just got a bad batch or what, but no matter what I did I could not get any flavor out of these tea leaves... I even tried using twice as much as I usually to for a white tea, and still nothing...

My personal favorite white tea. If you like white teas, this is unquestionably something you should try. If you don't, or don't know, it's a bit expensive to start out with.

I love silver needle, but this tub is not really fresh and tastes dull compared to my kick ass sample

Perhaps I prepared it incorrectly but I was disappointed by the flavor of the tea. The first time it had no taste to me and the second time was bitter. I will stick to my herbals. I prefer the fruitier taste of tea.

The premium white tea. It's expensive but even if you can't afford to drink it every day it's worth every penny as the occasional treat. Get it while it's in stock as it's very popular!

Another white tea that I liked. I decided to try it because it was the highest rated white tea. I'd reorder it.

Absolutely one of my favorites. So delicate and so good! I keep plenty onhand all the time.

Silver Needle is my favorite white tea. It is great blended with other teas.

Interesting. At first I didn't detect much of a taste but as I continued the very light delicate flavor came through.

I love to try new and unusual things. And this is unusual (to me), but in a good way. a lot lighter than green tea, but nice none the less.

My first taste of white tea and I liked it. Richer and closer to a black tea in flavor than the bitter and vegetal green tea nuances I expected. Flavorful and complex but at that price I would lean towards other options

Nice white tea that is refreshing and uplifting. Truthfully, I ended up eating all of the dried fuit pieces.

very pleased of this tea and look forward to getting more

Loved it, ordering more soon It didn't have that veggie taste like green tea and it wasn't bitter at all. Nice color and is a great morning tea.

This was my first taste of white tea, and I decided I like white tea. I have yet to try the flavored white teas but I like the silver needle. I was really surprised at teh amount of flavor in this. Because of the color, I expected it to be a bit bland, but it was full of flavor. I steeped it a little long and it was surprisingly strong, but I love strong tea. It is very soothing to me, and much better than green tea to me. I don't care for the strong green, vegetal taste of green teas. The silver needle was mild flavored yet complex, can't describe, you must try it for yourself.

Light but distinctive, and strong. It's a little too sharp for me, though.

Love it! So delicate and delicious. It's such a natural pleasure. Pure and simple.

Very light flavor, and can taste great with a little bit of sugar added to it, according to taste preferences. It's good for me, and tastes well, and not strong to the pallet. This is also a great product.

I love this tea. Even makes a good iced tea. Extremely delicate flavor. Very good with spicy shrimp!

A very solid white tea. Very very interesting iced. It doesn't have the character of an Assam or Darjeeling, but is still very good.

Silver needle is everything for which I hoped: subtly sweet and smoky, smooth finish, distinctive flavor. An added bonus was being able to re-use the leaves!
Green tea is great, but after only two cups I'm addicted to white tea.

lovely white tea - great for contemplating the outdoors, life, or your navel
