The verdict
Where this pick fits.
Silver Needle buds scented with jasmine flowers — the most delicate white tea carrying the most recognizable floral note in the cabinet. The jasmine is layered on during drying, not sprayed, so it lives inside the bud rather than sitting on top. Under-brew it. Let the jasmine arrive slow.
Silver Needle wearing jasmine. Under-brew it. Let the floral arrive on its own. It earned its spot in our lineup by solving the stage it's supposed to solve — without pretending to solve every stage after it.
