Would not buy again. Might try some other options.
MTMansa Tea15 seconds agoHi Timur -
We are sorry to hear that our Fuding Silver Needle (2014) did not meet your expectations.
Compared to younger Silver Needle, known for its delicate and subtle flavor profile, our aged Silver Needle has more body and sweetness. We understand that it might not align with everyone's tea preferences. Each harvest and vintage offers unique characteristics, and finding the perfect tea that resonates with your palate is a personal journey.
We value your honest feedback as it helps us better understand our customers' experiences with our teas. We'd love to learn more about the brewing method you used to brew this tea to see if we can help you get the most out of this tea. You can reach us at concierge@mansatea.com.
Thank you for your feedback.

- CMCameron M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars9 months agoBest Tea I ever had
This silver needle tea was an absolute revelation. From the moment it touched my palate, I was greeted with a luxurious, sweet syrupy texture that enveloped my senses. As I savored each sip, subtle notes reminiscent of freshly baked homemade bread emerged, evoking a sense of comfort and warmth. The aftertaste, however, took me by surprise with its bold and lingering smokiness, leaving a memorable impression long after the last drop. This tea embodies complexity and sophistication, making it a standout choice for discerning tea enthusiasts seeking an unparalleled experience.
I have had tea with longer longevity but still lasted a decent amount of cups. I think I got a solid 3 and a few more decent cups gongfu style.
MTMansa Tea7 months agoDear Cameron,
Thank you for your eloquent and insightful review of our Silver Needle. Your detailed description of the luxurious texture, comforting notes of freshly baked bread, and the surprising yet delightful lingering smokiness truly captures the essence of this remarkable tea. We take great pride in sourcing and crafting teas that offer a multi-layered sensory journey, and it's a joy to know that our Silver Needle delivered on that promise.
We're also pleased to hear that you were able to savor multiple infusions through the gongfu brewing method, allowing you to fully appreciate the tea's nuances and longevity. Experiencing the evolution of flavors over successive steepings is an integral part of the tea connoisseur's journey.
Your feedback is invaluable, and we're grateful for your trust in our commitment to quality. We hope this experience has inspired you to continue exploring the rich and diverse world of tea, and we look forward to serving you with more unique and delightful offerings in the future.
Warm regards,
Mansa Tea TeamP.S. We are currently low in inventory on this 2014 vintage silver needle. If you'd like to stock up on this tea, we highly recommend doing so now as once this batch is sold as we won't be able to restock!

Hi Ashley, Your aged white teas are FANTASTIC! I had some of your [Fuding 2014] Silver Needle - Aged White Tea with Gabrielle. Never had a white tea rich in honey notes! Thank you again, Ashley!
- AA.J.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 years agoGood Light Tea
Aged 5 years. What is there not to like? Good pick.
MTMansa Tea3 years agoHi AJ, Thank you for your short but sweet review. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed our Fuding 2014 Silver Needle. We hope to hear from you again soon! - ACApril C.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 years agoWhat a luxurious experience!
This silver needle is just amazing. It looks so luxurious with these tiny furs on the buds. And when you brew it, each bud almost looks like a fresh bud on a tree. You can also taste the quality. It has a complex flavor profile with smokey, buttery, and sweet flavors.
The previous reviewer said this is light, but I would actually say that this tea has a lot more depth and body than most white teas out there. But perhaps compared to the White Peony in reference it is slightly less so.
MTMansa Tea3 years agoHi April, Thank you for your fantastic feedback. We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed the Fuding 2014 Silver Needle and found it to be luxurious and flavorful! We do take note and love to hear different taste reviews from each of our customers. You can also check out some other great selections of teas on our website. Thank you again for your review! - AAmandaVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars6 years agoDelicate and light tea
I gifted this tea to my friend who likes delicate and light teas, and she loved it. I personally prefer a stronger white tea, so my go-to is Fuding White Peony. But Fuding Silver Needle is perfect for you if you are looking for a light-bodied, delicate tea!
MTMansa Tea3 years agoHi Amanda, Thank you for your wonderful review. We're glad to hear that your friend enjoyed the tea, and we appreciate the feedback! For your strong white tea preference, have you tried our Fuding 2015 White Peony tea? We think you’d enjoy it too.
