White Persian Melon

What a wonderful white tea. The melon is subtle, but present. The white base is delicious. I only had a sample, which lasted for 2 cups of this nice tea. I really wish I had more of this, as this is a tea I would like to get to know better.

Yummm…dry leaf smelled exactly like a fresh melon. It has a sweet Italian wine taste to this tea. This makes for a nice combination. Very light, it was tasty iced. Would of been perfect with a slice of cantaloupe. It has a slight honey like taste going on, too.

I’ve apparently been slacking off in my tea reviews. But with the cooler weather upon us, anticipate seeing me pop up more often than usual.

Anyway! This sampler was open and I apparently forgot to log it last time. Since I love both white tea and melon, it’s kind of obvious I would love this, too. A little honeydew-like (or maybe that’s because honeydew is my favorite and I want it to be there. heh). It’s really light, which makes me a happy little tea drinker, and the flavor is subtle. Another win from Golden Moon!

This is so much more mellow than I remember which is awesome.
Subtlety sweet as long as you don’t add sugar.
I’m not getting any tea under the flavor though… :(

Brewed after letting it cool for a bit post boil.
wow! This really smells like melon! I didn’t and any sweetener since it smells so sweet already.
For the taste, I’m glad I didn’t add sweetener. It’s light, refreshing, with that sweetness of melons that actually annoys me if I have too much (in the melon as well as the tea). If I concentrate hard, I can pick up a tea flavor at the end of the sip. Really though this tastes like melon. I imagine it would go well with a summer breakfast (then again, that’s when I eat most of my fruits during the day). For me, it’s too specific of a taste for everyday. Now and then, just like the fruit, I like it.

Wanted something light this morning, so I chose this one!

The leaves smell fresh with a little hint of melon.

The tea itself smells sweeter, sugarier, and more melony.

The taste is really yummy! I mean, you’ve gotta like honeydew and cantaloupe, I think. But yum! It’s not too heavy on the melon, which I appreciate.

Hits the spot! :)

I drank this in the midst of kid tantrum- chaos. I barely tasted (or barely remember it). I’ll rate it when I try it again.

A pleasant tea. The Melon flavour doesn’t overwhelm the tea, though it still has a bit of an ‘artificial’ taste to me. I can’t decide yet whether I like it or not? On the other hand my wife was sold on it and loved it the first cup she tried.

Yummmmm. I brewed this up and tasted it without honey and determined that it did not need any. It is definitely sweet on it’s own. However the directions did say to add a touch of honey, so I did. I always follow directions on the first steep of a new tea. I am glad I did, because after adding just a half teaspoon of honey, the melon flavor really popped. This won’t be my favorite tea, but I will be returning to it often.

This is lovely, refreshing, and light—just right for a gorgeous spring afternoon! Honeydew and cantalope enveloping scents; soft, sweet melon flavor (2nd infusion actually sweeter than the first.) Come summer, this gets iced!

Sample. LOVED this tea. By far my favorite so far from the sampler pack I got a few weeks ago. Sweet (without any sweetener!), lightly tastes and smells of melon. Lovely. Will try a few more melon teas though before deciding if I want to reorder or not.
