Didn’t have much hopes on flavor here as I have not enjoyed other Silver Needle teas in the past. But this is a sample from a previous order and I’m in a mood to get things sipped down and my stash cleaned out.
The smell of the steeped leaves reminds me of cooked spinach maybe. It might be a food I adore, but in regards to drinking, not something I am usually wanting. Happily the smell of the liquor does not have that.
The liquor has a light almost golden color and is pretty. Flavor isn’t bad but really very light. Something in my brain keeps expecting it to have a sweet flavor, but that only shows up as its cooled down to near room temp. When its hot, there isn’t much there. Curious what it tastes like as a cold brew, but I don’t have enough left for that.
I took these notes a few days ago but never really managed to finish them due to prep for another office move. I’ve got enough for another pot today, but I just don’t feel like it. Its not bad, just not my thing. Going to treat this as a sip down and move on.
