White Tea with Raspberry - Pai Mu Tan White Tea

It’s a tea bag (and not even a fancy one at that) but it is surprisingly unhorrible. Very raspberry-y and sweet, there is a little hint of bitterness that I’m assuming comes from the broken leaf bits in the bag (which was the only thing in the bag). But it’s only a little tang and really not bad at all.

It’s actually a pretty bold tea for a fruit flavored white. Lots of flavor, even if most of it is raspberry. There’s some bean-ish tasting tea-ness in there to round it out. Raspberry isn’t my favorite flavor so it’s not something I’m in love with or would really even pick up, but it is much better than anything I was expecting!

Nice. Pleasantly sweet. Really good for a bagged tea. Nice berry flavor but doesn’t overwhelm the white tea base.

A nice tea to drink while I unwind!

I received a sample of this tea from Jessica! Thanks! The smell of the dry teabag is very much of raspberry. I steeped this for a bit longer than most would steep a white tea because I like them a little stronger. The taste of the tea is initially the smooth white tea followed by a hefty fruity aspect. This is much better than I thought it would be!

I’ve hesitated to brew this, because my previous means of heating water was a standing water dispenser with only one heat setting. I got a new electric kettle for Christmas, and this was the first thing I brewed. I love white teas, but I haven’t had one in a while, because it’s so easy to scorch the leaves. I love the smell and taste of this tea. Slightly sweet and fruity with the light taste of white tea.

Typical white tea coloring. Hint of Raspberry to the nose. Delightful taste, indeed! I really like this! Nice blend!
