I normally like white peony tea more than silver needle because it is richer and darker. Judging by the appearance of the leaf, I would expect this tea to be lighter in color and flavor.
But I found this tea to be very dark and rich in flavor when brewed. Aroma is strongly fruity, a characteristic I don't usually expect from this type of tea, and not in the usual melony way.
I only had the opportunity to sample this tea once, briefly, and it was brewed for me, so I can't say much about brewing, but I was impressed. At under $15 for 4 ounces, although this is certainly not a cheap tea, I think the price is quite reasonable for a tea of this quality.
