Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this tea.
The flavor is light. There are undertones of sweet and bitter to it. I’m not finding the bitter to be an unpleasant bitter though, it adds dimension to the cup. A very interesting cup.

Taste the difference!100 monkeys is a premium grade, loose leaf white tea from China.
This rare and exotic white tea will leave even the most discriminating connoisseur with a smile. You will enjoy watching as the tea leaves unfurl and return to their original state.
White tea is really a subclass of green tea, however, due to its recent acclaim, it has been given a class of its own. The major distinction is that white tea is not mechanically processed. Buds and select leaves are harvested and merely air dried.
This minimal amount of processing can make white tea have up to three times more beneficial antioxidants than green or black tea.100 Monkeys is our best selling white tea. Buy this rare white tea wholesale and save even more!

Has a slight musty smell.
1st sip I wasn’t so sure about…
thereafter -
it does get better.
much flavor but a musty woodsy type
as it cools it isn’t as woodsy maybe more floral or earthy…even
It’s ‘ok’
The steeped tea smell sweet, a bit bitter, too with a hint of tobacco scent (of the plant, not of cigarettes or cigars, in case anyone was unclear).
In sipping, it has that tobacco scent turned to flavor that wraps around the sides of tongue up into the nose.
It is a bit bitter, especially on the middle of the tongue it feels. The bitterness isn’t great but isn’t terribly off-putting either. It’s not bad, I’m just not sure I like it.
That’s about it… Maybe a faint mustiness to the scent and flavor, too.
Another quality tea I wouldn’t buy more of.
