Silver Needle's beauty is in its subtlety, its consistency, and its unmistakable chaqi (tea energy). The dry leaves give off a heavy and savory nutty aroma backboned by its green vegetation, which when warmed realeases sugary notes reminiscent of baked doughnuts and sweet overtones of honeysuckly. The brewed leaves exude a rich and thick roasted nutty fragrance mixed with a hint of sweetgrass.
