JASMINE SILVER NEEDLES
Origin: China, province of Fujian Tea colour: white tea Length of infusion: 3' Water temperature: 75°C
Dry leaves Appearance: spectacular plucking, composed entirely of long, silvery and twisted buds. Colour: pale gold. Scents: highly floral jasmine bouquet, both rich and complex. Evokes the scent of fresh flowers: notes of red fruits with animal undertones.
Brewed leaves (infusion) Scents: this bouquet reappears on infusion with heightened intensity. The jasmine is powerful and complex, the wild strawberry note full-bodied. Surprisingly powerful!
Liquor Colour: pale. Texture: supple. Aromas: the jasmine is well developed, balanced and full: the very distinct floral note of jasmine is combined with an intensely fresh and planty note, as well as a fruity note of wild strawberry. Aromatic profile and length in the mouth: the overall effect is very long-lasting, with a delicious minty freshness.
Our verdict: a very elegant tea, which has achieved the level of the finest Chinese jasmine teas: Jasmine Pearls. A very small quantity of this tea is harvested and flavoured seven times with fresh jasmine flowers, connoisseurs are sure to be delighted by its opulence and complexity.
