Awesome White tea, I love it very much. it is, like Gormaya said, like herbs and fullmouthed. It has really a nice, non-astringent, non-sweet, but very BRIGHT taste, but is miles away from tasting too watery — the taste is, like said, very fullmouthed.
This is my favourite tea for relaxing. Steep 2 minutes at ca. 70-80°C / 160-175 F.

Another thing. The look of the tea in a glass cup is incomparable. Such a bright golden color I have never seen.

Earl Grey (No. 69) from TeaGschwendner
88

My favourite Earl Grey. Experiment a little to reach your personal brew time/temperature combination, and you will LOVE it. To this day, I drank over a pound of this tea, and it has its unrevokable place in my collection.

Japan Sencha Extra Fine - 705 from TeaGschwendner
86

It tastes actually a lot better than the normal “Japan Sencha” (same company). You taste a fine sweetness, a grassy note, and everything balances out very fine. This is a nice sencha, will be drinking it alot.

Refreshing! Like it more than Le Touareg.

Maté, Green from TeaGschwendner

Matè Tea, as you would expect. Most of people sort of like it, I love it!

Formosa Fancy Superior Oolong Taifu (630) from TeaGschwendner

China Oolong Kwai Flower from TeaGschwendner
91

This tea smells great, but not Oolong-y, because the flowers cover all the other smell. Luckily, the taste of this tea is not dominated by the flowers that were added to this tea. Remind that this is not an aromated tea, its namely a pure Oolong, but with flowers in it (so the tea vendor said to me today).

Its tastes a bit sweet, but not that “peachy” at all (like the description claims). It is a very nice note, that definetely comes from the yellow flower things in the tea, and it fits very well with the overall good Oolong. A great mix, and it completely dispels my initial doubts if a Oolong with “peachy tasting flowers” could be any good.

I love it, will get its own Tea Box :D

Marani™ from TeaGschwendner

I like this tea very much in the morning. Pretty much the reason for me to get out of bed early every morning.

A good green tea, almost too complex for me. It has a fine grassy touch, and if you do it right, it can be a very fresh cup of smooth green tea. I like it.

Formosa Fancy Superior Oolong Taifu (630) from TeaGschwendner
86

My second Oolong, and I like it very much. It has a unobtrusive, yet distinct taste – I would say a bit of wood (same way you would say I whiskey tastes like oak-y), but very fresh! A great tea!

Earl Grey from TeaGschwendner
84

This Earl Grey is the best I’ve tasted so far from TeaGschwendner’s selection (in my country the No1 Tea seller).
When not steeped too long, you can taste a light, satisfying citrus note, and overall the Earl Grey taste is just very nice.
