My first experience with this tea was actually last night. I was packing some up for boychik to try, and after I’d already put everything away I found a leaf on the table. Instead of getting stuff back out or throwing it away I just popped it in my mouth, LOL. I sort of swished it around in there for a bit (the fuzz felt weird at first) and then chewed it up. It was surprisingly tasty!!! Very malty and crispy/crunchy. I don’t make a habit of eating tea leaves (except gyokuro) so it was a unique experience.
ANYWAY, just steeped up my first cup. It is sweet, creamy and lightly malty! I am not usually real big into white teas unless they are flavored but this one is very nice. I think next time I might try it with a little more leaf and see if I can coax out a flavor that is even more bold :)

im so excited! And i never tried to chew a tea leaf. my daughter likes to chew dried pasta or uncooked rice…
I guess this was my first time eating a dry leaf. When I eat gyokuro it is always after I’ve steeped and drank the tea! I was shocked how good it was, haha.
Huh, interesting. The only time I’ve tried dry leaf is adding it to a recipe. I’ve made an Earl Grey and lavender cookie, matcha cookies, and also made a rub with tea.
