This is a good “everyday,” non-fussy white tea. It produces a medium yellow liquor with woodsy, nutty, yet slightly floral, notes. Very smooth and easy to drink. Something about it reminds me of hay or straw, although that’s not to say it tastes like straw. It doesn’t have the delicate sweetness of some higher grades of white tea, but sometimes, that’s not what you’re after. This one is easy to brew, forgiving of oversteeping, and tastes great iced as well, or mixed with other teas.

Nice aroma, not as sweet as other white teas. Very nice flavor, little bit of spice on the tail end of the flavor. Great tea!

Awesome White tea, I love it very much. it is, like Gormaya said, like herbs and fullmouthed. It has really a nice, non-astringent, non-sweet, but very BRIGHT taste, but is miles away from tasting too watery — the taste is, like said, very fullmouthed.
This is my favourite tea for relaxing. Steep 2 minutes at ca. 70-80°C / 160-175 F.

Another thing. The look of the tea in a glass cup is incomparable. Such a bright golden color I have never seen.
