Yunnan has been making White tea for many years and their Silver Needle has become a delightful standard in the specialty tea world - syrupy, thick and floral. But then this Old Assamica style has popped up our of nowhere and suddenly we have a new style White from old trees!

Hey Don, I think you might be on to something with these side by side comparison kits! Personally, I'd love it

I can't believe you made this video the day after I tasted silver needle for the first time 😲 It is easily my favorite tea that I've had so far, though I haven't had many. I just started my tea journey and with your company actually and I've got to say, I'm thoroughly enjoying all there is to know about tea. I bought a big ol order but man, being in the US, that shipping is hefty 😰 I completely understand why thought since you need to put it on an airplane, I just wish there was a tea vendor in the US that was as thorough in their selection of tea and had as high of standards when choosing what to sell to their clients as you. Thank you for all the videos and for being as thorough as possible with your tea to give us the best possible experience 🙏🏻

There are many fantastic tea sourcing businesses in North American thankfully, many with comparable and even superior quality offerings to Meileaf at a more affordable cost :)

I think comparison kits would be an amazing idea, it would help like understand your process of sourcing, which I would find very interesting. + you could better see the difference between certain cultivars etc

I actually have tried an silver needle pressed in a ball and it was said the tree age is 150 years which was very suprising to me and I actually really really loved that, its expensive but I really love the taste it became my fav white tea actually.. its silver needle but a bit different! amazing that I see a video about stuff like this because I also was very suprised finding such an ODDBALL of an tea, I wasnt thinking about the plant beeing actually used for sheng when its old, it makes sense I am pretty sure thats the case with the silver needle pressed in a ball I am talking about too! what a coincidence really love that this video is released now I was planning on showing and tasting with a friend :)

I do like the idea of comparison kits! As you say, it could be a bit expensive for some though. Going to have to investigate that old silver needle though 😊

Hey, Don, thanks for sharing your experience! Where can I find some articles about crossing sinensis and assamica teas and its final product? Just wondering what can they produce in term of taste uniqueness
