Delicate · Light · Refined

White Peony

Buds + Leaves

Fuller · Leafier · Rounded

Shou Mei

More Mature Leaves

Broader · Fuller

Simple Choice

---

What Does It Taste Like?

Delicate · Gentle · Refined

Silver Needle is appreciated for subtlety rather than intensity.

The liquor develops through:

Very Pale Yellow → Pale Straw → Soft Gold

with a light body.

Nothing needs to become dark.

Instead, notice the smaller changes in:

Aroma · Texture · Sweetness · Finish

from one infusion to the next.

Exact sensory character naturally varies according to batch, water and brewing method.
