My favourite part of the tea was the look of the looseleaf. There are some whole small leaves and lots of stems and partial leaves. I really like the bright fresh (unprocessed) colour and the variety of shapes and sizes. I prefer larger tea leaf pieces or whole leaves because I feel like they look more pleasing, so I had high expectation for this white tea.
The loose leaf is not strongly scented but has notes of dried leaves and sweet grass. It doesn’t have the tea smell I expected, but I appreciate different types of teas.
This tea was too vegetal for me. Have you ever bit into a flavour petal? It kind of tastes like that. It is slightly floral but not in a rose or “aromatic flower garden” sort of way, it mostly tastes like eating the petals themselves. There is also some “dried leaf/grass” taste, like the smell of walking through a grassy area in the hottest part of summer when all the plants are dry and withered.

I haven’t tried What-cha’s version, but most of the things you describe are reasons I like Bai Mu Dan. It’s funny how tastes differ.
It will be nice to drink this sample, but I wouldn’t buy it again. I do like it because it is not something I have tasted before, however I don’t enjoy grassy or vegetal teas as much as other varieties. I think everyone’s brains respond to tastes differently This is a good thing, though, because this way there are more varieties to try and enjoy. :)
