This is interesting. Sweet, almost like honeysuckle nectar
in water. The needles are unopened leaf buds, possibly flowers.

The color is all but clear, and the aroma is very light; it's
hard to tell you even have tea until you taste it, and then
it's very delicate.

I paid the same for this as I did for the other one:
$8.95 for 10 grams (although iirc the 54-gram tin was more
expensive than just double this price). I got three solid
6-oz infusions out of 2 grams, and didn't try for a fourth,
though I don't doubt an extra 30 seconds or so of steep
would have done well if I'd tried. No doubt the rolled up
layers of leaves make it diffuse its essences more slowly
than ordinary tea. It makes me wonder what crushing or
chopping the leaves beforehand might do for it.
