Champagne

What an interesting tea… I can’t really decide if I like it or not?!?! The smell that comes off of the loose leaves is a light green vegetable smell with hints of raspberry. It smells good to me, but I was expecting more of a grape smell. Plenty of whole leaves here very pretty!

After the steep, the liquor is a pale, pale, golden color, the smell is more vegetable now, with a hint of fizz? Not sure how they do that but it is interesting!

The first taste, was sweet! Much sweeter than I thought it was going to be. That is why I love tea, lots and lots of surprises! Anyways, after the first taste it left a floral taste in my mouth, and then just a touch of astringency which I definitely was not expecting that from a white tea.

After a few more sips I can taste a bit of juiciness from the berries and just a hint of grape, but mainly I get sweetness, and floral notes, with a bit of greenness. Even after finishing the cup and on the second one, I still just don’t know if I really like the mix?!?! I don’t know how many more cups I will drink. Might have to try this another day.

The tea is not a gimmick; it actually tastes very good.
I can’t say that this reminds me of champagne. Then again I rarely drink champagne. However I do know that I enjoy this tea. It is very flavorful, it’s smooth but not really creamy. When I smell it, I am reminded of coronation grapes. So more than anything else it smells like a “wine tea”. The scent of this brewed tea makes my mouth water.

Champagne Tea is my favourite White tea. It is so nice an light with a bit of a zing in your mouth. I hope this one stays around.

Did not care for this one.

This is possibly my favourite tea from DavidsTea – it’s delicate, but still flavourful, and the leaves can be resteeped at least four or five times, with a slightly different flavour each time.
