2014 Fuding White Tea Bai Cai (Bai Yinzhen)

Sipdown (620)!

I finished this one off last weekend, while having a nice conversation with an instagram user named miklovestea973 – if you’re reading this, Mike, I haven’t seen you yet in the Slack Chat group! If you’ve not yet done so, send Owl and email! It’s an awesome group and I think you’ll get a lot out of it!

As for the tea, this was given to me by Apr tea – and it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t impressive in anyway either. A good tea, actually, for exactly what I was doing: sipping on as a backdrop during a nice conversation! You needs teas in your stash that serve that purpose, for sure. Here’s what I had to say about it on instagram:

This tea definitely has some nice peach skin notes, accented by a light and pleasant bitterness – possibly because I PACKED this teapot. Aside from that lovely peach skin notes, this tea has a mix of clotted cream, hot hat, and snow pea notes. It’s not the most amazing Silver Needle I’ve ever had, but definitely works for a good, casual sipping sort of tea for a relaxed Sunday.

Also, as someone else pointed out, this had some thick/plump buds! Very beautiful little fuzzy boys…
