The verdict
Where this pick fits.
Fujian white tea — buds and young leaves, sun-withered, barely processed. Fuller than Silver Needle, lighter than any green. Honey-melon sweetness on the first steep, a clean mineral fade by the third. The white tea people actually drink daily instead of saving for guests.
Honey-melon on the first steep. Mineral fade by the third. The daily white. It earned its spot in our lineup by solving the stage it's supposed to solve — without pretending to solve every stage after it.
