drank Melon White Tea by Lupicia
1500 tasting notes

I’m doing something wrong here. It smells amazing — very much like Lucipia’s Golden Honey Dew, and I’m assuming the flavor is the same — however I’m getting less flavor than expected. My son however just gulped this down like it was candy, and told me, “Mommy, this is very good tea!”

… so I’m chalking it up to weird tastebuds from the April in Paris earlier, and just leaving the rating off yet again.

Mucho gracias to jump62359 (hopefully I got the numbers right this time!) for sending some of this along to me.

Oh, too bad, I had such a delightful experience with this. Lol, your son seems to know what’s good fir him :-)
If it helps, this how I prepared mine. Since it’s white, I used three teaspoons for a 16oz mug, water temp 80C, three minutes, and it was like drinking honeydew juice!

Bio

A few years ago, the obsession with tea started. The cupboard got bigger and bigger, more swaps occurred, group buys, secret rendezvous with local teapassionistas… and that’s how you end up with 500+ different kinds of tea in your home. At one time.

Almost all of the tea was given away, sold, or otherwise shared. A few relics still remain. I now travel full time with only two carryon bags to my name. One quarter of those bags are tea.

It’s still a challenge to avoid the chipmunk-like hoarding of The Teas, yet, the lightness of being from having so little compels me more.

If I have enough, I’m happy to share. If I’m in your area, I’d love to swap, meet for tea, and explore together.

As for the day-to-day stuff, I’m focused almost entirely on Love, (yes, with a capital L), Spirit/Self, transformation, travel and my writing and speaking work.

What kinds of teas do I normally like?

YES: flavored teas, fruity, dessert, chai, and spicy (REALLY spicy).

A FONDNESS FOR: all white teas, malty black teas, any herbal or medicinal teas, strange/weird teas you can only get in one place.

ALLERGIC TO: strawberries, lavender

DISLIKES: any added sugars, grains, lapsang souchong, and overly floral teas – I might enjoy a Jasmine Green every once in a while, but unless it’s a creamy floral tea (think roses in a chai, or the smoothness of a floral note in a French tea), I’ll likely pass. Earl Greys are a hit or miss with me; heavy on the cream or fruit notes and I might like it, heavy on the blergamot and I definitely won’t.
