The Real Deal
Date:May 21, 2013
Pros: Great Aroma, Smooth Body, High Quality, Whole Leaf Tea, Unique Flavor Profile
"Mighty Leaf Silver Needle Tea is the real deal silver needle tea. There are many companies that claim the authentic silver needle but it's ground up so you truly don't know. Mighty Leaf silver needle is a whole leaf tea as all of their other teas. This cup of tea is extraordinary!"

Review 4 for Silver Needle
Overall:

Tea Flavor: Vegetal
Best Uses: Anytime
Describe Yourself: Health Conscious
Flavorless
Date:January 21, 2011
Cons: Flat, Weak
"I am a fan of silver needle. It has a wonderful, delicate flavor. However, this particular product is like drinking hot water - no flavor at all. The leaves look softer and are a lighter green color than I've had in the past. I think it might have been harvested prematurely. I don't recommend this tea."

Review 5 for Silver Needle
Overall:
Yoyochan
Location: Glastonbury, CT
Tea Flavor: Vegetal
Best Uses: Dessert Tea
Describe Yourself: Tea Enthusiast
Light, refreshing, sweet
Date:December 6, 2010
Pros: Smooth Body, High Quality, Whole Leaf Tea, mildly sweet by itself, Light, soothing and mild
"This is a very fresh, light tea, with a hint of sweetness. If you like a bold, hearty tea, then this isn't for you. It has a very delicate flavor, and is very smooth. The color is extremely light yellow, so don't judge doneness on color with this tea. The aroma is very mild, and slightly vegetal.
I brew this for about 4-5 minutes, under 4 minutes comes out a bit too weak for my taste. Brewing for longer than 5 may have undesired consequences, and will probably be bitter and undrinkable.
Absolutely recommended! I'd say this is a excellent dessert tea because of the mild sweetness, but also great for any time! :)"

Pros: Smooth Body
"Very light, very fresh tea with a little whisper of sweetness. The caffeine can be deceiving; sometimes I will drink 3 or 4 cups and then find myself pretty wired. Top quality."

light and delicate but flavorful
Date:May 15, 2008
Pros: Great Aroma, Smooth Body, Whole Leaf Tea
"I love this tea. It doesn't get bitter the way some green teas can, and the light caffeine is great in the morning without getting wired and then crashing. Also light enough to have after dinner without keeping you up all night.
The flavor is slightly sweet and very fresh."

Brilliant, interesting tea
Date:January 13, 2008
Pros: High Quality, Whole Leaf Tea, Great Aroma
Cons: Bitter
"Shocking aromas of cinnamon and honey give way to light, delicious soybean flavor. Quick, light finish. Becomes bitter very quickly, although will handle a much longer brewing than a bagged or processed white."
