Recomendations on places to get good flavored whites

I’ve ordered a few from 52Teas and I enjoy the Ontario Icewine from NMTC. Looking for places to get good flavored whites or recommendations of great flavored white combinations you’ve found.

Thanks!

my current favorite flavored white is Nature’s Tea Leaf Rosemary White, but it is very simple.

So far, the only flavored white I’ve tasted is Cookie Dough, which I absolutely love. You will be getting a sample of that soon, I hope.

Me too! Been dieing to try that forever since you keep bragging how awesome it is haha! Stupid slow mail!

Hahaha, I hope you love it as much as I do! Otherwise I’ll feel terrible for all the anticipation. :P

I was going to suggest this one too, I don’t drink a lot of white teas but this is ridiculous. That aroma that fills the house when you’re baking chocolate chip cookies and they’re almost done…THAT’S what this tastes like.

DavidsTea (White Tiger is one of the best blueberry flavored teas I’ve had so of course it’s being discontinued), Butiki Teas if you like melon, Art of Tea (esp the coconut creme one).

Butiki has lovely white blends (Cantaloupe & Cream!), and Persimmon Tree has some great ones (especially Coconut Creme and White Guava). I’d also recommend Steep City, I’ve only tried one of their whites but it was to die for and they have some other really nice looking white-based blends.

And usually I don’t recommend Adagio since I have had so many issues with their black base, but I’ve found their whites to be consistently very nice. They also offer very generously sized $2 samples.

Thanks gang. Lot’s of leads here for me to look at. Knew you guys wouldn’t let me down!

I second the Persimmon Tree coconut cream, and was impressed with the guava, though unsure on buying it personally.

T.C. I really love the DT Sweet Strawberry and also the Big Apple. I actually mixed Sweet Strawberry and Cookie Dough with honey on ice today and it was delicious.

Just so I’m certain, You’re referring to David’s Tea not Della Terra correct?

Small
Teavangelical said 2013-02-16 23:12:14 -0500

Yeah DavidsTea sorry :)

Small
Kasumi no Chajin said 2013-02-15 05:09:57 -0500

I had not thought of it earlier, partially due to my so far only having the bagged version (which is now discontinued) but my favorite comfort tea is Sense of Peace by zhena’s gypsy tea, which has a white base. It is now only loose leaf, and I look forward to my first order directly from the site.

I have used this tea for years.

Oddly enough, I believe I have some from this brand being shipped to me from a friend in Canada(not on steepster). She said it was one of her favorite teas also.

Small
Kasumi no Chajin said 2013-02-15 05:20:46 -0500

cool. I have tended to hoard it as the local stores have not carried it consistently, but now that I can order online, I won’t have to worry about that. It was one of the first whites I discovered.

All of Shang Tea’s herbal whites are amazing. Honeysuckle, Chrysanthemum, Pao Blossom & Orange Blossom.
