First time trying silver needle!

So I always wanted to try silver needle white tea and I had ordered some off of Amazon. It arrived about 4 days late but better late than never I guess.

The scent of the dried tea is like straw or hay and I found it quite nice. I decided to brew it gong fu style and western style.

I found the tea to be very light in taste with some hints of citrus or lemon and possibly some hay notes. The tea itself was very low in tannins and even chewing the leaves was somewhat pleasant.

Because this arrived late I ordered some silver needle tea from yunnan sourcing USA and I’m looking forward to comparing it with this one as well as some Fuding white peony tea that I ordered.

While people say that white tea has floral notes I didn’t get any of those and I think I got some citrus and hay like notes. This is normal for silver needle?
