This is nice! Heated water to 175 degrees in my Breville and steeped for 40 seconds in my awesome new glasses – http://tinyurl.com/3w6hggp SO pretty! Bought them on sale at Amazon.
Thank you Erin!!

On my last bag, Erin! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful tea with me! I’ve GOT to order more of this pronto.

Oh here’s a couple better pics of my newly ginger hair in the sunlight! http://i56.tinypic.com/2r56o3m.png, http://i51.tinypic.com/sya3ki.png It’s in a ponytail, because I’m growing it out and it’s at an odd length. Wish hair grew faster! Did the whole extension thing but it’s just annoying.

This is definitely my cup of tea. Rating’s going up. Thanks so much for turning me on to this one, Erin! SO great for a bagged tea. I wasn’t feeling amazing so I steeped this double strength for 40 seconds and poured over ice. So awesome. I feel a million times better. Probably the most refreshing iced tea ever. I need to stock up on this. So clean and pure tasting. Feels like it clears my mind. Sip. Deep breathe. Ahhhhh. This would pair good with yoga.

Busiest work night of my life. At one point, it felt like someone had removed my brain, and replaced it with bees. A lot of bees.

So after all of that silly awful business, I went to Whole Foods to grab a new tea. I love the melon candies I get at the Asian supermarkets, so I figured this would be rad. Was I right? Totally! This is yumziez.

First cup was pure. No sugar/cream. So clean tasting! I then went to brew a whole pot with a tiny bit of sugar. Beautiful flavor. It tastes really fresh. The taste lingers too, which is nice!

4 minutes is a little long for a white tea. This gives it a bit more flavour without compromising the delicate nature of this fragrant white.

Great tasting tea. The melon flavor is quite clear and easy to spot. I wouldn’t call it strong, but it’s very “present”. Loved it. I’m growing very fond of White Teas lately and this one is a great contender. The calmness of the melon matches the white tea base nicely and it’s a great idea for a chill day. Good times.

Tastes like a dream of dancing unicorns and gumdrop houses. This stuff is friggin’ gloooorrrriioooouuuusssssss.

I could drink this 100 TIMES PER DAY.
I probably shouldn’t. But I could.

This tea has a subtle melon flavor, a fine cup. White tea produces sublime energy, perfect for relaxing or working. They advertise this cup as “sophisticated”, and it is. In the hectic big city there is a mountain of stress and hurt feelings, and this cup really brings me back to Earth.

I loved this tea. Sweet smelling and tasting. I’ve only had it hot and should definitely try it iced.

I was not impressed by this tea at all. It really just tasted like hot water. I know white tea is meant to be light but this was just too light.

This has a nice sweet flavor to it. I may like it better iced.
