I found this in my parents cupboards (I am dog sitting for them) and they buy herbal tea’s in for me so I might as well try this now and take a few home with me if it’s nice.

I don’t have many white tea’s on my shelf at home so it’s been a long time since I have had a cup of it. The colour is a nice golden yellow hue which reminds me of wheat fields in the summer. It smells quite nice and fresh with just a hint of berry, like a warm weak Ribena but not as sweet.

Berry tea’s are either hit or miss with me as they are either too strong or too bitter, too sweet, too synthetic…. they vary hugely. The first thing I notice is that this tea is very subtle on flavour altogether but it has enough taste to note the sweetness of the berry and the very slight bitterness in the after taste. It tastes very natural and pure to me which I am very pleased about.

I think this tea comes from www.goodnessdirect.co.uk which is where I have recently purchased a lot of tea’s from. £1.44 for 25 separately packaged tea bags of this is a very good price.

The more you drink of it the more the berry taste grows in your mouth but still at a nice strength. Nice as a relaxing agent on a cold and rainy day.

I’ve had one acai berry tea and similarly enjoyed it…….not a huge berry tea fan myself, but drink it for a refreshing change of pace.

I’ll bet acai berry is really good with white tea too.

Bio

I’m 34 years old from Leicester, England named Kayleigh.

I started off many years ago drinking herbal and fruit teas which over time peaked my interest in trying new types. Eventually I began to import and sample many different teas and cultures which I still do today. My life goal is to try as many teas and ways of having tea as possible.

Tea wise my cravings change constantly from pu erh one month to jasmine green to the next and so on.

I also enjoy watching Japanese Anime and horror films.

I am always up for tea swaps so if you see anything in my virtual cupboard then please contact me.

A short list to help swapping with me easier though honestly I am not fussy and am willing to try anything. Plus the notes below are usually, sometimes I love a tea that has an ingredient I tend to dislike and other times I hate a tea that I thought I would love.

Likes: Any fruit but especially melon and orange, vanilla, all tea types (black, green, white etc), nuts (any), flowers, ginger, chai.

Dislikes: Licorice, aniseed, clove, eucalyptus, lavender.

My rating system
I have my own way of rating teas that makes each one personal. I have different categories, I rate each tea depending on what it is made of. For example: I rate green teas in a different way to black teas or herbal teas. So black, white, green, Pu Erh, Rooibos, Oolong, blends and tisanes all have their own rating system. That way I can compare them with other teas of the same or similar type before for an adequate rating. And when I do give top marks which is very rare I am actually saying that I would love to drink that tea all day, every day if possible. It’s a tea that I would never turn down or not be in the mood for. So while I agree that no tea is 100% perfect (as nothing is) I am saying that it’s as close as it comes to it. After all, in my book the perfect teas (or close to perfect anyway) are ones that I could drink all the time. That is why you will find a high quality black or Oolong will not have as high a score as a cheap flavoured blend, they are simply not being compared in the same category.
