Steeping Silver Needles
I got 1/8 lbs of Silver Needles for Christmas (among other
things)...I've never had white tea before and I've been experimenting trying to find the right steeping conditions. The package it came in said to steep at 165 degrees for 3-4 minutes. I've read online that some people steep much hotter and for much longer. I find that when I double the steeping time, to about 7 minutes, the tea is smoother (almost milky) and less complex. I prefer it with a rawer edge. Sorry I'm not very good at explaining what I'm tasting, I'm relatively new to tea. Anyone have any advice on how best to steep Silver Needles? |
