WOW!

Decided to have make my sample packet of this as my Sunday white tea today, and it’s … wow. Ha.

The leaves are downy and beautiful, and the liquor is buttery in color and a bit in texture too.

The first few sips tastes like jasmine, which at first was “Yeah, this is good, but I’ve had this before with my Jasmine Pearls, how is this different?” but after a few sips, along with the perfumy jasmine, out comes this sugary sweetness almost like candy! It’s really sugar-tooth satisfying really. :)

The sweetness recedes a bit when it cools down though, so best to drink it hot. :)

Edit Second infusion at 3 minutes: The jasmine has receded a bit, and the tea has become even sweeter! :D It brings to mind those old fashion candy sticks, which I love so I’m loving this cup even more than the first!

Hello! I’m a 24 year old Canadian, currently working at Starbucks while I figure out what I want to do with myself in life, haha.

Like most everyone else, I grew up with teabags, and then discovered the grass really WAS greener on the other side with loose leaf. Nowadays I drink nearly exclusively loose, but will drink a bagged tea if I don’t care what I’m having.

My favorite kind of tea is black, and unflavored, although I do enjoy an occasional dessert black. I like whites second best. I’ve recently been dipping my toes into honeybush tisanes, greens and oolongs.

My favorite vendors are Butiki Teas and Verdant Teas. Both have fantastic teas, above and beyond customer service (especially Butiki), and fair prices for their very high quality teas. I can’t recommend them enough.

Purely for tasting notes references, I don’t use any additives for my teas. Older tasting notes for blacks was with milk+sugar, and then with just milk. Whites, oolongs, greens and herbals are all drunk straight unless otherwise specified in the notes.
