Okayti Silver Needle Darjeeling tea, a white tea from
I left this tea until the last to review separately,
not knowing whether I would like it or not.
White teas often seem a little bland to me and a bit to light.
I was delighted to be surprised with this beautiful
Okayti Silver Needle Darjeeling.
Yesterday, on a rainy spring time day, I opened the package
to beautiful grey green needles.
It was recommended that it steep at a little cooler than
boiling water for 4-5 minutes, which is exactly what I did.
First sniffing, then tasting it was like a breathe of springtime.
A soft almost floral scent and flavor was enjoyed with each sip.
It brought the same pleasure as the first glimpse of spring.
A little more bold than some white teas and this tea just delighted me.

If that teapot (coffee?) could talk - it would sure tell us a book full! White looks lovely!
Sounds tea-lightful!
Your photo looks like a beautiful Dutch still life!
Thanks for the white tea recommendation. Being a black tea lover, I find many white teas lackluster. I do enjoy their health benefits and lightness at times though.
Thanks for sharing your review. Most of the white teas I've tried were flavoured and I need to try more pure white teas.
This photograph is beautiful.
I'm not big on heavy tea or tea that is too strong so I love hearing about new and different ones.
And this photo -- drop dead gorgeous!
Great review. Beautiful photograph.
