I love straight teas that taste flavored. This one smells and tastes very tropical and fruity. The wet leaf has an strong aroma of juicy fruit and honeycomb. The tea starts off with white peach and coconut, gentle florals and a soft body. Steeped further, pineapple and a little creaminess develops. There’s a bit of minerality and a delicious lingering fruitiness. The pina-colada flavors remind me a lot of WP’s Golden Lily. Come to think of it, it has some milky tones too.
Only negatives are some rather large twigs and the flavor runs out pretty quickly. By the 4th steep, most of the flavor had been wringed out. All in all, a very pleasant and satisfying tea!

twigs arent necessarily a bad thing, they add sweeter flavour
@Rasseru – interesting, i thought all the flavor was in the leaf. they’re just a little annoying because the gaiwan lid won’t stay closed
Now I know to get that one.
haha yeah LPT Oolberry has a lot and keeps lifting my gaiwan lid off too
the stem part has catechins that add ‘mellow sweetness and aesthetically undesirable’
@Daylon – let me know if you’d like a sample. it really is a good tea.
I’d love a sample. I’ve been debating on whether or not I wanted to try more from that company.
If you want a mind changer regarding twigs, get some Malawi Satema Antlers white tea from What-Cha. It is almost all twigs and sweet as your first kiss.
