White Asian Plum

Mmmmmmm! A beautiful tea. Light, just a hint of fruit. Brews a pale brown color and goes down smoothly.

The ingredients say that it contains blackberry, which is a plus. Blackberries are my very favorite berry. I know they can sometimes make teas really bitter, but they definitely don’t in this brew! They help the plum taste come out.

Delightful tea to wake up with!

Raiding the office cupboard again and I found this. I think I’m up for a bit of fruitiness before lunch.

I haven’t had a white tea in a while, but this was surprisingly good. Completely overpowering plumb taste. No need for sweetener for sure. I can sense there’s some tea in there, but honestly, it’s like a fancy flavor of kool-aid. Refreshing for sure, but still trying to find that everyday tea.

I guess it’s time to man up, and make an actual purchase of loose tea.

Wanted something light and fruity after a meal of smoked fish. This is perfect! Smelled great, and the taste didn’t disappoint.

We were gifted this tea by someone we love very dearly. Unfortunately, my partner and I did not love the tea. The white tea is very poor quality to begin with. What would you expect from a bag? We weren’t expecting much. If it didn’t have the additional cloyingly-sweet plum flavoring, it could have maybe served as a quick lunch-at-work teabag to brew. However, we found it completely un-drinkable and ended up throwing it out. Can you imagine throwing out tea?? I have never thrown out tea in my whole life. It was an awful experience.

I woke up late this morning and wanted tea. However, I didn’t have time to make any, but remembered that the wife made some iced tea on Sunday. I filled a tumbler full, got ready, and went to work.

When I was at work, I thought, “Gee, this is nice, but on the account it’s cold outside, iced tea was a terrible idea.” After a few minutes of settling in, and getting the students ready, I got a phone call from the wife, telling me that the door became unhinged while she was driving to get gas, and that it had fallen off at the gas station. So, I told my assistant to prepare the students for the day, and left.

While on the road, I called my director and told her that I had to leave. She thought the situation was unfortunate and told me to take the day off; she’d get a substitute in for the afternoon. We both had a good laugh about it, though. I mean, who has a car door fall off?!

When I finally made it to the station, there were plenty of people standing about looking at my wife sitting in the doorless car. I felt awful. I told my wife that I would drive home (which was less than a mile away from the station) in the car, and that she should go to work. Meanwhile, I was cold and wanted a hot cup of tea. My fingers and face were numb, but fortunately the drive was less than 10 minutes. I had to drive slowly and cautiously.

When I got the car home, I noticed the tumbler of iced tea. And decided to finish the tea off before making another cup. And it was soothing, but cold. I think this tea is good cold. However, as a hot tea, it doesn’t work. Plus, as far as bagged teas go, I’m too picky when using them. I prefer loose leaf.

Anyway, this is good iced. And that’s all I’ll say about it.
