I don’t review white teas much, mostly because I still find them a little intimidating and I just don’t gravitate toward them or green teas as much. That’s starting to feel silly as I weed down my cabinet, because most of the small samples I have remaining are green or white teas.

As far as this one goes, it’s a knockout. It brews up very pale, to the point that I was concerned at first that I had done something wrong. Despite that it’s flavorful, and it’s becoming one of my favorite jasmine teas ever. I’d say the flavor is about 90% jasmine, 10% tea, with the jasmine being almost fruity/nectar-y and the tea being noticeable as a slight hay flavor. The jasmine gets even more intense as an aftertaste, which I love. When it’s gone I’ll probably have to restock this, if only because it’s the closest I’ve yet found to putting real jasmine flowers in my mouth. (I’m guessing that’s not recommended!)

Flavors: Jasmine, Sweet, Warm Grass

Bio

Elizabeth, college student, anthropology major, bio and history minor. I love to travel and try new foods (and teas!). I also enjoy music, books, video games as often as I can get my hands on them.

I loved tea as a kid, didn’t drink it for about ten years, and then rediscovered it a couple of years ago. Tea sometimes helps me feel better when chronic illness is making things hard. It’s also fun to experiment with!

I’m still pretty new to the types and brands of tea out there, but I’m interested in trying some of everything. My favorites are earl greys, yunnans, medium-bodied oolongs, Japanese greens, fruit, vanilla, and floral flavors (especially jasmine and rose). My least favorites are teas that are overly smoked, bitter, or contain strong hibiscus or orange peel.
