I’ve been low key searching for a White Rhino replacement and don’t often order white teas, but this one intrigued me. For anyone interested, this isn’t a decent replacement, but it’s fine as a tea in general.
The tea itself was very unique looking, noted as a “stem tea” on the website, and it’s like tiny driftwood twigs! The taste is very clean and balanced. The flavour notes are meant to be “wild honey, stewed apricot, lychee” and I’m not sure I’m getting any of these.

I have Malawi white antlers from What-Cha that sound similar. To me, it just tasted like really sweet wood and I haven’t touched it. I have some friends that loved it, but did not see appeal yet.
Exactly!
