Doesn’t smell like much until you start to infuse. Lovely! This is yummy and light and melon and floral! Delicate but darling!

Just got back from lunch. Forced myself to leave the office today. That means I had to go out into the COLD, Cruel World…sigh…it’s sooooo cold. So I went over to a lil cafe (where they charge over $2.50 for Republic of Tea Bagged Larges – yes, 1 tea bag and hot water $2.50-ish…) so instead of getting tea I tried their Cleanse Lemonade and it was something fierce! Now I will have that lingering watery-intense cayenne pepper-slight lemon flavor traveling with me all day! Blah! Anyhow…I’m back and back to drinking the nectar of the gods…TEA, hello!? LOL

My goal for this afternoon and this evening is to try and finish as many teas in my stash as possible.

This is my first one…

and it’s yummy and lovely. I hope to get some more someday…

I love mornings on Steepster because I love reading everybody’s new tasting notes. This was the 2nd tea out of 3 that came in my order from Rishi yesterday.

The dry leaves actually smelled like beer, so initially I wasn’t too excited. However, upon steeping, the smell became sweet and just ever so lightly fruity. The tea itself is a golden, light orange color. It’s very pretty when the light shines through it.

This is probably the tea that tastes the most like what the package says it should. I really taste honeydew melon in this. It compliments the white tea perfectly, since they’re both such light tastes. After the initial smell, I’m surprised I like this so much. It’s really good!

I keep coming back to this one simply because it is such a light, refreshing, and rewarding drink. It’s quickly becoming one of my favorites and I’m almost all out of it, shame. I’ve also noticed that I keep upping my rating, which is another good sign.

This really does taste like the warm nectar of a honeydew melon. If it’s possible for something to taste slightly sour in a good way, then this is it. It’s sour and sweet and just barely grassy from the white tea, which is complemented perfectly by the melon. I’m just itching to try Golden Moon’s White Persian Melon, which is supposedly similar to this (according to Ricky). One of these days I’ll get the GM sampler!

Lightly sweet, muscatel taste. Not much of an aftertaste. Tastes exactly like Honeydew. When the weather warms up I’ll try this iced, but today it’s cold and rainy.

My second cup of tea for the day.

Had this the other night after a long time and it was better than I remembered. Excellent fragrance and taste, though the first infusion is much better than subsequent ones.

Oh Cha!

I was so surprised by how much I loved this tea!!

Great for the white tea lover, who wants a slightly different take on the usual. So good!
