drank Arya Pearl First Flush White Darjeeling (Organic) by Canton Tea Co
417 tasting notes

Just finished off my stash of this. This really has to be my favorite white tea ever. It is floral, nutty, and slightly fruity- apricots? It never brews bitter, but you have to drink it quickly or it oxidizes in your pot. Oddly enough, it reminds me of Butiki’s pistachio ice cream today…Probably because I just ate a piece of vegan toffee from http://www.allisonsgourmet.com.

ETA: The best thing about this tea is the aftertaste. I love teas with a good/long lasting finish, and this tea just perfumes your mouth such that you can still taste the tea long after it is gone.

Bio

Tea means so many things to me, it is so deep and it is revealing new meaning to me all the time.

Tea is a mindfulness practice, and a doorway through which to explore different philosophies, cultures, and historical times. Tea is hospitality and a way of communion. Tea is an art, a ritual, and a tradition. Tea is a complement to the foods I eat (preferably vegan desserts) and is something I enjoy collecting and curating.

I love to swap, or even just send people samples, so if there’s anything in my cupboard you’d like to try, just send me a message!
