TASTING
A clean, fresh down aroma, plain and unhurried.
A pale apricot liquor, clear-sweet and softly smooth.
Silver Needle takes only the first round of single buds from the spring crop, neither pan-fired nor rolled, withered in sunlight. The supreme first pick has plump buds, a clean fresh down aroma and a pale apricot liquor — keep it three years and it is medicine, ten years and it is treasure, but this cup, now, is spring itself.
A clean, fresh down aroma, plain and unhurried.
A pale apricot liquor, clear-sweet and softly smooth.
