QUICK LOOK
| Liquor | A very pale yellow green, sometimes with a rose cast to it. |
| Aroma | Smelling of wet, sweet hay, with a glaze of sugar, like cotton candy. Light floral high notes of honeysuckle and jasmine. |
| Body | Fuller relative to other white teas, but still quite thin. |
| Flavors | Silver Needle White Tea can sometimes begin tasting only of water. But it quickly blooms in the mouth to show a light sugar sweetness, dulled with gentle vegetal flavors of steamed bok choy. Some versions also have faint “heat” notes, like toasted white bread. |
