The tea is absolutely fabulous!! We are loving it. I'm sure you can expect me as a return customer.

Also, it's wonderful to see such a personal level of customer service.

Best silver needle I've had.

Consistently one of my favorite teas. Never bitter and I have found that it can be infused 3 times with good taste and quality. Good value too.

This is my favorite variety of tea.

I have bought it many places from many vendors throughout the USA for many years. I first bought the small 50g amount from amazing-green-tea.com to test it. There was a shortage in USA and I could not find more in any of the stores in the city I live in. I had to order some online.

I don't know why I ordered it from this website, but I'm glad I did. It took about 27 days to receive the tea.

By that time I was able to find a small tin of the same variety in my city, it was organic Rishi brand Fujian Baihao Yinzhen Silver Needle at Whole Foods here in USA.

I compared the two side-by-side, and this one from amazing-green-tea.com BLOWS AWAY the Rishi brand!

OMG - the Rishi brand seemed very good and satisfying until I tried this one, now it seems flat and bitter and uninteresting. It really does taste quite different.

The amazing-green-tea.com brand has a whole set of complex layers of flavor not available in Rishi brand, and it also has a very satisfying effect I never got from the Rishi brand.

I now consider Rishi to be crap.

I ordered the 350g amount within a couple weeks after receiving the first 50g package. It took about 27 days to arrive.

This larger amount is the same quality and it is the best Fujian Baihao Yinzhen Silver Needle tea you will find anywhere. It's very very good and I strongly suggest everyone who enjoys tea to try this one. 5 stars!

Yes, it is a 5/5 and much better then the other teas of the same variety I've had.

Thanks so much for your message. I had four friends come over for a brunch the weekend to start plans for the tea tasting we hope to do while here in China.

We tried the white tea you sent, the Baihao Yinzhen. They loved it! Everyone thought it made them feel very mellow.

Afterwards I served some no-name loose green tea that I bought from a street vender while visiting the Hakka houses. I like it, but they really preferred the white tea you sent.

I gave everyone one of the small red packets of lapsang tea you sent.

Next weekend we are planning a trip to Anxi to see the tea plantations there, so I'll ask them how they liked it then.

On a scale of 1-5, I would give the Baihou Yinzhen a 5.....my friends really liked it. It changed the entire energy, mood of the morning for them.

I looked up the proper way to make green tea, followed instructions and voila ..... heavenly bliss.

I can't look at a cup of Lipton anymore. Thank You for the most delicious and healthy drink. Transforming.

It is the first time I had white tea. So my verdict is that I do not really like Bai Hao Yinzhen or white tea.

I do love the other green tea like Mengding Ganlu and Moli Jinzhen which I would rate both a 4/5. Oh and yes my mom shares the same opinion with me that all the other green tea taste better then Baihao Yinzhen.

Perhaps its due to genetics as many others have given good review. Just my 2 cents views.

The quality/price factor on this tea is amazing! I've tried quite a few silver needles but this stuff is so fresh and tasty. 3-4 infusions and I still have a great cup of tea. Very impressed.

I need to try more teas before really understanding the body of teas; however, when comparing this Grade AAA tea to the Grade A Huangshan Maofeng 2011, I thoroughly enjoyed the latter much more primarily due to the body/creamy texture.

This is a personal preference of my little experience with green tea so far. Preferences may change. For now, the Baihao Yinzhen 2011 simply doesn't have the texture I enjoy, but it does have good flavor!

The best Baihao Yinzhen I've ever had. So rich and complex, very long lasting in the mouth. Really pleasant.

Yes it arrived quickly and it is indeed the very high quality I expected. It was a great price and I will order again from you. Thank you and good job !

I am enjoying your white silver needle very much, in fact I'm having some
now as I read my email. My daughter and son also enjoying it.

QUALITY and VALUE right at the top. Thank you!

Very happy with this tea. I'm new to loose leaf teas, and while I am still trying to get the measurements right, I have thoroughly enjoyed these teas.

Just wanted to let you know that in 14 years of drinking tea, the Silver Needles that I just received from you guys was exquisite, the best. I know now where I will be buying my tea from now on.

I would rate it a 5 plus, seriously best silver needles I've ever had.

I had it for the 1st time this morning. It was very good. I read on your website that it wouldn't be as strong as what I'm used to. I really like it. I'll keep drinking! When it's too warm, I'll cool it off and make iced tea! Thanks!

The tea is excellent. I purchased for the health benefits more than taste. I feel the effects of relaxation and a sense of well being after consuming.

In terms of a feeling of well being and calm compared to the Lipton Green Tea I was drinking, I would rate the Silver Needle a solid 5 stars. This is a great tea for reducing anxiety.

I am using 4g a day so in about 2 months. I will definately be ordering again once my 350g of white are gone; approximately 2 months.

Thanks for a great product and service.

Yes the Tea was excellent! Really enjoyed it! Drank it very quickly :P good quality white tea's just go down quickly with me, will definately be buying some more soon, perhaps I will try your one of your Longjing teas next.

I would rate it a 4.5 for how it looked, a 5 for how it tasted and a 6 ;) for the feeling it gave me.

I consider myself quite in tune with my psyche and body and this Tea made me feel absolutely amazing, relaxed, euphoric and focused.

Also I drank it every day (usually 2 times a day) with no diminishing effects (tolerance). Felt amazing every time!

The tea was very smooth and fruity flavor, like Grapes. It will give multiple steepings and still have a good flavor like the first steeping. A very refreshing tea.

Even better than the 2010! Very enjoyable!

The Silver Needle from your store is excellent! The old stock I have now tastes like Lipton, only a hint of the grape flavor.

I noticed that the taste of tea on the fourth infusion is equal to the taste of my old stock's first infusion.

I purchased my old stock from the Whole Foods store in San Rafael California; in the first weeks of their grand opening, they had a concession stand of below market price loose teas they got from a Westerner who went to China directly to purchase organic teas. Those were my standards then...I am glad I got the mountain peak variety from you.

The tea is great. It tastes delicious.

I was a bit surprised by how much caffein it feels like is in it. I don't have equipment to test the actual levels, but this silver needle tea made me feel more caffeinated than other silver needle teas.

Also, I noticed some piece of leaves that were not the downy silver needles in the tea, I imagine just another part of the plant. I'm not sure if that's significant and it doesn't matter much to me.

I think the tea is 5 out of 5!

This is one of the smoothest white Silver Needle teas I have ever tasted. No bitterness or astringency, just premium flavor with low caffeine and high theanine leaves you alert, focused but relaxed.

I highly recommend this tea prepared gongfu style with as many infusions as you like. An excellent value!

Julian, now that I have had several cups, I think it is one of the best Silver Needles teas I have ever tasted. I would give Baihao Yinzhen a 5 out of 5 rating.

The Baihao Yinzhen white tea is very floral and fragrant. It has delicate flavors and is a light color, but still is quite flavorful.

I am able to get several infusions from the same leaves that still taste great. It is a very fine tea.

Really like this "nutty" tea, different from anything I have tried.

Thanks Julian for prompt delivery

After 15 years away from loose teas, I decided to return. What a wonderful learning, and sensory, experience!

Your website was very informative and helpful. I purchased loose teas and utensils from you and two other sources professing to sell the freshest teas available at the best prices.

Your teas from won over your competition easily.

The Silver Needle is perfection--sweet, aromatic and delicate. All three infusions provide an incredible sensory experience.

As far as rating: I would give the Silver Needle a 10 if I could -- guess I'll have to settle for a 5!

White tea is my very favorite, and yours is far superior to anything I've had before. Wow!

I am disappointed with the flavor of this tea.

I decided to try it because it was Oolong, and I hadn't tried that type before, but I prefer the taste of the Dragon Well tea AAA grade green tea I had in the Sampler that I bought from you at first.

Very good quality. I will be purchasing again!

My white tea was wonderful again. Just shows the consistent quality of your tea. Now I can't start the day without it. Be in touch again soon.

Sorry took so long ~ but I have really enjoyed all of the teas. The shipping was fast and I love how fresh your teas are. In fact, I am ordering more.

My absolute FAVOURITE ~ just love the fragrance and flavour of this tea.

I definitely notice an improvement in my health and mental focus and enjoy your teas every day.

I think it is the best tea I have ever found, and I have been i China, bringing back various sorts of tea.

It is also impressive how many times I can infuse it with a good result; usually stop with the fourth time.

Thank you, the tea was a real pleasure :) I think it will be one of my favorites and that I will come back to order it again when my stock nears empty.

This Silver Needle consistently ranks as my favorite! Most often enjoyed later in the evening, its always refreshing, such an excellent flavor. I was disappointed to have run out last year!

Aroma and taste are really very nice.

I notice when brewed that the "needles" are not intact - they look like they were crushed. I think you mentioned that there had been freezing whether. That might have done it.

Also, the packaging does not indicate that the tea is organic, as was indicated on your website.

In any case, the tea is very pleasant, and I am satisfied.

Thank you so much for all of the amazing effort that you've clearly put into making your tea shop such an inspiring place.

I loved the tea, it completely blew my and my girlfriend away. 5 out of 5 easily. If I could give it 6 I would!

Compared to other Baihao Yinzhen teas that we've tried from other sources, this is far superior in terms of quality, service and price. Can't wait to get more tea from you, it just a question of where to start!

This tea serves as a reminder to myself to "drink your tea". To quote Thich Nhat Hanh:

"To do this tea justice I must be present with it - if my mind is elsewhere then all I will drink is my worries, my projects, my plans - no matter how good the tea is."

And this is beautiful tea.

Great tea...oh my god great tea. Thank you so much! As Arnold would say: "I'll be back!"

I would definitely give it a 5 out of 5. If you would like to publish my comment you have my full permission.

The tea arrived in excellent condition. I was surprised that the packaged was sent directly from China. The packaging is good. The tea tastes excellent.

I wanted to thank you for this incredible white tea! I have been savoring every sip. I was amazed at how quickly it shipped all the way from China.

The quality of the tea is SUPERB! It really doesnt get any better in every way! I am a very happy customer and look forward to many more purchases with you.

The Silver Needle is really nice. I like it and couple of my friends like it too. And I think that your price is ok too. It has a nice fresh aroma. The buds look very good - fat, smooth and all covered in white down. The liquor is of light yellow-green color. The taste is fresh and light.

Hay aroma, slightly sweet and it has pleasant light acidity - really fresh taste. And it has no bitterness at all (at least when brewed in gaiwan). I would give this tea 4.5 out of 5, because there is no limit for perfection :)

Yes, I really like the Silver Needle. 4.5 out of 5! I reach for this tea when I'm feeling delicate or simply tired and need soothing. There is a light but clear fruitiness about it though stronger for me is the wet-hay aroma that clears my head and brings memories too.

The Baihao Yinzhen you sent me is great. Am enjoying it very much, and would definitely give it a 5. I appreciated the well sealed packaging it was sent in, getting it here in a good fresh condition. Thank you!

My first rating is for the Yinzhen Silver Needle is a 4 out of 5. Its the best Silver Needle I ever had, and the price is really good for this quality. Don't know yet if I would find a better Yinzhen, if not I would give this a 5!

I am very much enjoying the Baihao. Quite possibly the best Silver Needle I have ever had. And I am not a huge fan of white tea, so it is a treat to find such an enjoyable one.

I really enjoy it. Great all around flavor, not too "funky" as I find some white teas to be.

Mild notes of hay, almost buttery. I am not sure what my input is worth (I don't drink many white teas) but I'd give this one a 5.

The tea is excellent, thanks!! I'm relatively inexperienced with regards to tea, so it doesn't necessarily take a lot to impress me, but I was definitely impressed.

Just wanted to let you know that we got the tea. Thank you it's very good. I have not had a lot of experience with white tea having had only one other type. I would think that I would rate it a 4 as it brews multiple batches nicely with a sweet aroma and good flavor. Feel free to publish my feedback.

The Baihao Yinzheng A is a very pleasant tea, starting with a slightly hay-like fragrance ringed by a hint of mint, followed up by a mild taste of blended spices, maybe cinnamon and cardamom, before ending in a discrete herbal acidity.

It is "tea-like" in the Western style than the other high quality teas offered by you. - I wish for a Wang [King] grade some day!. In the second infusion I do not find the mild spices, only herbal notes and the palate-refreshing acidity.
