I have to agree with Big Daddy on this one—it was a true eyeopener for a person that never drinks white tea. Granted, I steeped it for a good four minutes with fairly hot water, but the result was a quite flavorful brew which reminded me of this incredible ice cream I had at a Persian restaurant in Boston that was flavored with rosewater.
I had always felt that white teas had negligible flavor but this is a tea I could see stocking and drinking in the afternoons. Quite delicious!
I don’t really go for white teas either. Maybe I should look into this one!
It’s great but very expensive. I got it as part of sample box of Nilgiri teas.
I’m not a fan of white teas either for the same reason. The way you describe this one makes it sound really good though.
