Finally got around to drinking this sample sent by the kind MzPriss.
I always thought to, but I often boil the kettle before deciding what I want to drink. Which means that whites and greens are out of the question.
That’s backwards, I know.
Anyway, I set out ahead of time to drink this, so I boiled the kettle to the appropriate temperature.
It looked and smelled very interesting in the bag, but alas, just like every other straight white tea I’ve ever tried…. I got nuthin’.
Very mild hay taste. I even overloaded the tea leaves just to make sure I would maximize the flavour potential.
I am very close to concluding that straight white teas are simply not my cup of…tea.
Happy to have tried it though!
Mmm twigs.
