Sun Dried Loose Leaf White Tea from Sakuma Bros.

LiberTEAS drank Sun Dried Loose Leaf White Tea by Sakuma Bros.

Thank you to Geoff for sending me some of this tea! It’s splendid! And I’m not at all biased because it was grown right here in Washington State! But, I was quite stoked to learn of Sakuma Bros., since I am in Washington State, and I love supporting local whenever I can.

I don’t think I’ve ever tried a white tea quite like this one. It has many of the characteristics I’d expect from a white tea: clean, fresh flavor and pleasant sweetness, but, it has some other interesting qualities to it as well. It has a creaminess to it that I don’t ordinarily experience with white tea, and it has a fruity backdrop to it that tastes a bit of apples and makes me wonder how close the tea bushes are to an apple orchard…

I think I have just discovered where I want to take our next family vacation!

Burlington … On the opposite end of the state for me, but, I am hoping I will still manage to get my husband to take me there eventually!

Profile

Bio

I am obsessed with tea!

I am a co-founder of the SororiTEA Sisters:
http://sororiteasisters.com

I also review teas for the Tea Review Blog:
http://www.teareviewblog.com

In addition to my passion for tea, I am also a mixed media/altered arts artist. You can see some of my art here: http://eccentricpastiche.blogspot.com

I am also a self-proclaimed foodie. I review local restaurants and the food I buy online here: http://hungryinportland.wordpress.com

My favorite teas are Yellow Teas with most Oolong teas at a close second. As far as “flavored” teas go, I love Earl Grey, Chocolate and Jasmine teas.

I also am intrigued by flavored teas with an unusual or unique flavor combination.

I don’t do a whole lot of swaps anymore, however, I do occasionally sell sampler boxes here: http://liberteas.teatra.de/ I don’t always have sampler boxes available as it depends upon how much time I have as well as packaging supplies. I usually post at least one or two sampler boxes per month, though, so if you’re interested, keep an eye out or PM me and I’ll let you know when I have some posted.

Most of the teas that I record in my notes here are going to have a fairly high rating from me. This is not because I am not discerning, but because I do not usually waste my time on drinking tea I do not care for, nor will I waste my time on writing about it.
