Royal Wedding

I taste the almond and the coconut. It is such a pretty tea! The rose petals add color and fragrance. I don’t really taste the white tea but overall, it is good.

This feels like its trying to be so much that it ends up being nothing.
I don’t notice the floral elements in either aroma or taste. I could smell the coconut on opening the packet, but the taste is lost in the tea.

Maybe the vanilla and almonds still stand out a little, but its not very much. I’m starting to suspect that I’m not a big fan of vanilla in teas.

Overall not a bad tea. I’m sure others would like it, but its not really my thing.

Watching Phantom of the Opera with my boys, Dennis and Forest, my kitty kids. Between doling out treats and giving tummy rubs I am enjoying Royal Wedding from Harney & Sons.
The coconut and almond flavors compliment the natural sweetness of the Mutan White base very nicely, with the merest wisp of rose working well in the background. Very creamy and smooth. As another reviewer noted, the taste is not unlike carrot cake, a carrot cake with a rich, decadent frosting! Royal Wedding is undoubtedly the best flavored white blend I’ve had.
An old movie, my kitties and a great cup of tea, life is very good indeed. I think I’ll have another cup if Dennis and Forest will allow me to get up!

Yum! I ordered a sample of this in my last H&S order in Feb. This is a nice afternoon cup. Creamy, sweet-ish. There are hints of Chocolate and coconut. I can see how the coconut could quickly take over this blend.

I drank this tea today on my lunch break. I normally steep the tea bags 2-3×. The tea is fragrant, but the additional flavors don’t mask the flavor of the white tea. There is golden fluff that clings to the sachet strings and appears inside of the sachets. It smells good, but I haven’t figured out what it is yet.

My boyfriend is starting to get into tea more, and he’s willing to start moving away from his beloved Earl Grey Creams and try some other things. While out at a local restaurant, I ordered a pot of this to share.

Turns out, he loved it! He said that he liked that it was a more delicate flavor than many of the teas he’s had before. This was also my first time trying this one, and while it was nice, I would have personally steeped it a little longer. I was able to get the white tea, but I couldn’t get a lot of the other notes, such as coconut. I plan on introducing my boyfriend to more white teas.

…Wait a minute, this is a white tea?

So I totally thought this was a black tea this whole time. Welp, the caffeine from last night’s cup must have been a placebo effect!

Somehow I wound up with like 50 sachets of this. This tea smells sooooo sweet. In a good way. It’s fruit-y and light vanilla-y. When I drink it, I get more of a light floral flavor, but the sweetness lingers as an undertone once the tea cools a bit. Of course, now that I know it’s a WHITE tea, I want to try it at a lower water temperature next time.

I like it!

When I saw this on the Harney & Sons website I really wanted to try it. It just sounded so delicious! Finally got my sample in yesterday and decided to give this a taste. When you smell the dry leaves there is definitely something chocolatey and coconutty. After brewing it the smell is just so yummy…a vanilla chocolate cream. Drinking it is even better. I feel like I’m drinking a vanilla dessert beverage with just a hint of floral undertone. Very delicious!

Bought a sample of this with my latest H&S order.
I have heard that it’s like the wedding tea, so of course I had to get it!
I am sure my nose is currently broken because when I opened the package all I could smell was chocolate milk…
There’s no chocolate in this….I don’t even know. But I kept trying to smell something else, but that’s all I smelled. xD And it’s not even like I drink chocolate milk or have it in my house…so I just…I don’t know. xD
Anyway, look wise, this tea is quite similar to the wedding tea. It’s soft and kinda colorful. It’s a pretty tea.
So. Not as good as I expected, but I’ll have to try it a few more times to be certain of it. I can see myself liking it, but not totally sure. Was hoping for more coconut/vanilla/rose flavors, but the coconut and rose were quite subtle in this tea. :/ The main thing I kept tasting was…hay…I guess it makes sense since it’s a white tea after all.
But yeah, not totally what I expected. The Wedding tea is definitely wayyyy better. But I have a couple more tsp left in this sample to come to a conclusion on this tea. We shall see.

Another abundant sample from Lala. I’m all about the white teas lately. :) The dry leaf aroma is questionable. I can’t really tell what’s in this. The flavor is actually surprising. First, a strong assertive Bai Mu Dan hits my tongue followed by a slew of flavorings that linger into the aftertaste. Hmm, what’s in this? I’m out of practice identifying notes. I think I detect something floral and something fruity. Wow, I feel like it’s four years ago and I’m just starting to drink loose leaf teas. How has my tongue returned to noob status after a short three month hiatus? Maybe it’s pregnancy tongue? Is that a thing?

I digress. I cheated and looked at the ingredients: almond, coconut, vanilla, and rosebuds. Duh! LOL! There’s a lot going on in this blend. The coconut and vanilla are probably the strongest flavors. It’s good but probably not something I’d want to drink all the time. It strikes me as a special occasion tea you’d serve at brunch to ladies in fancy hats. It’s a little too potent for an everyday kind of tea. saaaaaaaaaaaaaaz Well that’s what happens when a kitty tries to sit on your lap but there’s a laptop there. Silly kitty. There’s no room for you here.

Anyway, where was I? This tea turns a little bitter as it cools. Might be the coconut. I find that some coconut flavorings have a tendency to go bitter. On the whole, it’s a good blend. But again, not something I’d reach for all the time. And that’s why it’s great to have awesome friends on Steepster who will share their stash so you don’t go out and buy a buttload of tea that’s not your favorite. Big thanks to Lala for this sample!
