24 Tasting Notes
My first experience with white tea.
The dry leaves were strong and full with beautiful white hairs. The leaves had a nice fresh, cool scent. I was immediately impressed.
The first steep was at 195 for 2 minutes. The liquid was a hint of gold with a toasted aroma. The taste was a delicious borderline sweet leaf, full of flavor yet mellow….I had always heard of white being a weak tea, certainly not! Quite a pleasent surprise!
The second steep was at 195 this time for 3 minutes. The liquid was a strong gold color with a vegetal scent. The taste only benefited from the first steep and stood out proudly.
My expectations were quite exceeded but this tea!
Preparation
I just recieved my samples from Teavivre today and could not be more pleased! The samples i recieved were very generous. Thanks again to Ian for the recomendation.
The dry leaves were beautiful dark green clumps with a subtle scent of vegetation.
The first steep was at 212 for 3 minutes. The leaves unfurled nicely, revealing dark full green leaves. The liquid was a pale gold with a light vegetative scent familiar to oolong. The taste was delightful with light floral notes. The tea leaves a subtle taste in my mouth after sipping that reminds me to take a second and relax.
For the second steep i went with 208 for 5 minutes. This steep reinforced the first by bring a more mellow floral taste forth.
Preparation
A light tea with a nice mellow flavor plus a hint of floral taste. The leaves are a nice shade of green that make a pale gold tea. The leaves dont fully expand untill a couple of steeps. All in all, a satisfying tea but maybe too pricey.
Edit: It loses its flavor quickly after a few steeps
