The coloring of the white tea reminds me of the South India Oothu from TeaG. With the higher brewing temp, I am sure they are related. I would of loved this tea, if it wasn’t for the cucumber flavor. The smell of the dry leaf wasn’t exactly appetizing. It smelled like a cucumber that’s been in the fridge for alittle too long. And I love cucumbers, I used to buy cucumber to just put in my ice water to flavor it! I think this is just an iced tea. I had this as a hot tea. Yeah, not good. Thank you Doulton for a taste of this tea.
Preparation
180 °F / 82 °C

This is one of my favorites cold (well I can probably call it my fave now since my fave is sold out), but I prefer it at 140 degrees for 1-3min. Very good hot, but yes… much better cold.
