Actually, I didn’t wanted to buy any tea during my stay in Germany last, a bit pro-longed weekend. But you know; sometimes you just can’t resist. And I found out that white teas are perfect for hot days and I almost have none.
So, when I was just a few metro stations from this place, which I actually wanted to visit last year too, I just went in.
Sourced directly from India, owner/shop assistant was chatty and helpful and I bought two teas and got one for free.
Wel, I have to say I wasn’t paying much attention to this tea, which it certainly deserves. Because it has got nice fruity notes, among with sweet vanilla wafers, which resembles me 2020 Winter Darjeeling White tea by Ketlee I got from derk and reviewed back in February. Maybe it is very same plantation?
Flavor continues with muscat notes, white wine and lemon zest, which is… werid as I said I wasn’t paying too much attention.
Also, steeped with almost boiling water was, surprisingly, not a bad experience and leaves very nice, large tea leaves in the strainer. They claim that it can be steeped twice, but maybe next time… with the rating.
