Tea King Silver Needle

While I'm often not impressed with teas that are claimed to be competition winning, this one hits a spot. From Zhe Rong, the mountains above Fu Ding, this silver needle is simple clean and balanced with a nice melon flavor. There is a smooth greenness to this tea that is like kiwi or honeymelon. The body is very lively and clean, leaving your mouth very refreshed. This tea does blow you away you with unique flavor notes as much as it comforts you with a balanced and enjoyable flavors that can only be made by makers who really understand their tea.
