So I’ve never really had just a straight, white tea before! I’ve had a few different flavoured varieties but never just the tea on its own. I probably never would have tried this tea if left to my own devices, but last night I was invited to a little seminar at the David’s Tea near my house. We tasted different teas, and talked about the benefits of tea and how different kinds are processed and blended. I really enjoyed it!
And I really enjoyed this tea! It has a sweet grassy taste—but it isn’t a bad thing! If you’ve ever had one of Jelly Belly’s Bertie Botts grass flavoured beans, you’ll know what I mean when I say it isn’t a bad taste. It reminds me a bit of honeysuckle, or clover and doesn’t need sweetener at all to be incredibly pleasant to drink!
For real. I left David’s Tea with a tin of it immediately after the tasting!

I’ve been looking for a good white tea to try. So I’ll give this a shot when I go through my stash of Spring White Pearls.
I was actually surprised. With white tea I was always a little bit like “Man, it’s so expensive! It can’t be THAT good…OMG IT IS!”
I love a good white tea. Cheap white tea, like Celestial Seasonings — don’t bother.
Oh, silver needles — I could write poetry about that one.
Stash carry a white Darjeeling. Ah-maz-ing.
