This is an enjoyable white tea that is very affordable. It is also very forgiving and easy to brew. As such, it is extremely suitable for a casual drinking kind of white tea.
Dry leaf smells like some pastry whose name escapes me right now. It reminds me of Provence for some reason too, I think there is a bit of lavender and dry grass in the smell. In the wet leaf I get some brandy notes as well.
As for the taste, honey sweetness is very present, as well as (phyllo) pastry, nuts and mediterranean shrubs (I can’t quite tell which one). There is literally no bitterness when brewed like this (85°C) and only a little astringency that one can control by adjusting the other parameters.
The mouthfeel is mouth-watering, bubbly, cooling and fairly light bodied overall, although it can get a little thicker and coating when brewed for a longer time obviously.
Flavors: Brandy, Hay, Honey, Lavender, Nuts, Pastries
