Here’s a little tropical escape from the winter doldrums: our amazing bai mu dan white tea blended with freeze-dried mango, dried papaya and natural flavors. A little pick-me-up and reminder of warmer times. Enjoy!
Our Tea of the Week for the week of January 23, 2012
I took this to work today and made iced tea with it, I like it this way. Very refreshing for my afternoon beverage. See previous notes for more info.
I like this one. The flavors are sweet and a little tart, and the Bai Mu Dan gives it a nutty, fresh and even a creamy flavor. I am drinking it hot, but, I’m betting this is awesome iced, so I will probably save some of this for when the weather gets warmer (we had snow earlier this week, so right now, iced tea just doesn’t sound too appealing).
Delicious.
Another sample from LiberTEAS!
Quick note because I should really get to sleep…
The brewed tea smells just slightly fruity, although I’ve let it cool so perhaps it was stronger before.
Definitely not missing out on tasting the white tea here! I’m not tasting as much fruit as I would have liked though. There’s some astringency, but I can handle it with a white tea.
Probably not going to be my favourite fruit/white blend, but nice to try just the same. I’ll hold off rating until I try it again warm.
Ooh, I think I like this better hot.
I started writing this 90 minutes ago and ended up on the phone for an hour with my mom so I have no idea what else I was going to say.
I like this better because I think the white tea gets to shine through more, I get a bit of a nutty taste in with the fruits.
So I think next time, I will take the best of both worlds and make some hot and let it cool down for iced tea and see how that goes.
The dry leaves smell so fruity and delicious! Mango and papaya made this an easy one to pick out of my sample pack (thanks again Anne from Liberteas – still working through the samples!).
This tea seems very light to me, but in a good way. I really love the fruity aspect. It’s not too overpowering. This is a good one to curl up on the couch with a nice book after a long day. This confims my need to subscribe to 52 teas – subscribing now actually.
Mmmm….
