Sweet Lily

Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this… I’m not a big fan of it. It’s a strong floral taste, and normally, I do enjoy floral teas, but, I’d like the white tea to be more apparent.

It’s OK, but not outstanding in any way. Nothing that makes me want to get up and do the happy dance. Yeah… and good tea generally does make me want to get up and do the happy dance. Usually, I just mentally get up and do the happy dance, but, on a rare occasion, I’ll physically get up and do that dance.

Smells like a floral wine with lemongrass.
Very light yellow in color
Floral to taste…very delicate
I can see how others have described a soapy aftertaste…It doesn’t seem to linger long but it’s still soap for a few seconds.
Don’t hate it – don’t love it.

I am still a novice tea drinker so keep this in mind as I am rating this tea. I love the smell of sweet lily white. I have soft spot for rose teas and the like. This tea is ok. Not my favorite, but drinkable. I want to rate it higher just because my last pot of this tea is coming soon. There is something sad about not being able to drink something ever again. I won’t crave it, but I will miss it.

And another from TeaEqualsBliss (I’m going to be saying this a lot for awhile, I think!).

I think I had enough leaf for three cups, but I threw it all into two because I’d rather have two strong ones than three weak. Smells tasty!

cough cough Astringent. Very floral and… odd. Cardamom? Really, Teavana? Not sure I love that choice. Looks like this one got discontinued, and I can’t say I’m disappointed.

I’m super sad this tea is leaving us here at Teavana. It’s been a long day…and I’ve still got a couple more hours at the shop… I mixed Lily White with Tarocco Ruby Orange as a sweetened iced tea…it has become my source of sanity for the day. sigh

Good aroma, good taste, but the aftertaste is like SOAP! Only good if you like overly floral teas.

This is drinkable when mixed with Teavana’s Rooibos Tropica.

Love this tea! Mild, refreshing, and pretty. It smells lovely, tastes lovely, and even looks lovely! Not for the white tea purists but worth a try if you like flavoured tea.
