Rishi Silverneedle
So, my Rishi Silverneedle arrived today, and my heart sings with joy as my taste buds had the pleasure of experiencing white tea at its finest! Does anyone else Drink Rishi Silverneedle or Rishi teas in general?

I drink a lot of Rishi, mostly because they're right here in Milwaukee and it's fast to ship and/or available in some stores.
Driking a cup of their Darjeeling Silver Tips as I type this.
I think the only thing not so I hot I've ever tried from them was some green Snow Sprout tea. I bought it from a store though, and for all I know it had been on the shelf for ages.
The prices can be a little steep, but the quality seems worth it.

I picked up a tin of their Honeydew Mellon White tea from Wegmans the other day. It sure is good, my only complaint is that its so expensive. I think this would make a great iced tea as well, but it is way too pricy for my daily iced tea consumption. Anyone have any thoughts on doing multiple infusions one right after another and using it for iced tea?
This is the tea I am rambling about:

I am a fiend for Rishi Tea. I am fortunate enough to work in retail, and Rishi is one of my vendors, so I get a chance to talk with them, receive samples.tomasini wrote:ahh, samurai, we should totally do some tea when i get to dallas! because you seem like you're way more knowledgable than me in the ways of tea!
and you like rishi, im ordering a rishi shirt off their website
Rishi Steep time recommendation
Anyone else find the Rishi Silver Needle recommendation steep time of 4-5 minutes @ 185F excessive. I did it at a cooler temperature for 4 minutes and it was a bit bitter. 2 minutes was just about right. Plus I was able to get 5 infusions without any loss in taste.TeaFanatic wrote:Silver needle in general is a great tea! I'll have to try rishi's sometime though and give it a whirl.
