This one just didn’t want to come up for me!
Anyway, VariaTEA’s tasting note for Mulberry White made me want that – but I was already making tea at a hotter temperature than that one would be able to take, plus I didn’t want to go digging in my closet, so I checked what I had in my kitchen cupboard for immediate consumption and this one was in there! Pretty close, if I do say so myself – I mean, both are mulberry strong teas. And this one handles heat better!
I have to say, I don’t remember this being as oily – not that it really tastes oily, it just has lots of that kind of sheen on top. As far as taste goes, this is nice with strong coconut notes featuring as the initial taste, and then sweet liquid caramel/mulberry notes. It’s not exactly like Mulberry White because it’s not fruity (apple notes, and all) – but it’s a close enough match that my cravings are being satisfied.
I love both – likely for the caramelness, and continue to want both around despite any similarities they might have. Also, I cut up an apple to eat with this, and it’s really good! Satisfies the Mulberry White craving even more ;)

I agree the two are similar but honestly I found them different enough to justify having both. This is more caramel and sweet where as Mulberry White is on the fruitier side. I would reach for this when I want a butterscotch candy and that when I want some tasty berries.
I also think this travels better, so I’d keep it around for that reason too. Also, I personally adore Silver Needles, so I like that about this one as well.
There is also the added benefit of not having to wait too long for the water to cool to the temperature needed to steep this tea. I am so impatient that I find I neglect my whites/ greens because I just don’t want to wait.
That’s why it’s worth saving up for a variable kettle! I think mine was $50? And not only does it heat to my temp, it’ll hold it for an hour as well! I’m hoping to experiment more with greens/whites because of that.
Haha. I actually was going to purchase one but my mom told me to wait until I go to Florida because she thinks we can find it cheaper there. If not, I think I will order the Hamilton Beach one when I get my new credit card.
