My 1st aged white tea, so bare with me. Sweet smelling leaf even before brewing, beautiful darkened, condensed leaves with a smattering of silver tips. Beautiful smell while brewing, a dark sweetness like Oriental Beauty but without the oxidization. Tastes/smells of honey, medium caramel malt, but floral too, true to its roots as it were. Good for 2-4 infusions depending on the session, can get a bit astringent after 3rd. Great tea to unwind from the day or introduce someone to tea.

Flavors: Apricot, Corn Husk, Floral, Honey, Malt

Preparation
170 °F / 76 °C 3 min, 30 sec 3 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Flavors. Must. Find. New. Flavors. Tea is relatively new for me, so I am still in the training wheel stages but so far, I am loving it. I am well versed in medicinal herbs and my pallet likes to be challenged.

I work in the natural products industry but my education and background is in photography (BFA from MassArt.) Because of my job I am connected loosely (or on occasion directly connected) to many artisan tea companies including Mem Tea Imports out of Boston, Rishi Tea, Pukka Herbs, Man Cha Teas, Imports through Mountain Rose Herbs, Aiya Matcha, Jade Leaf, Numi Tea, Organic India, Gaia Herbs, and more.
