150 Tasting Notes
This was my first white tea and I was so disappointed. It was a bit expensive and I had high expectations. It has awfully lot of crushed big leaves in it and suprisingly few leaves and tips that look like white tea to me. I taste mostly those bitter crushed leaves in the tea.
This time I tried picking the best looking leaves and tips but it didn’t improve the taste much, but this time tea looked like white tea. I’m considering tossing this tea, because I very rarely drink it and don’t like it.
Tea becomes dark brownish (stays clear of course) when it gets cold.
Preparation
This is one of my favorite flavored green teas. It reminds me of Forsman tea’s Emperor’s choice green tea which has lychee and safflower petals instead of lily petals. I bet the recipe is very close and the green tea the same. This is just a tad cheaper and more available.
This tea is fruity and sweet. The leave smell oh so fruity and delicious. I should have steeped this in a couple of degrees lower temperature but I was impatient. I like my green tea green.
