My tasting note went bye bye after Firefox crashed on me. :(
This is an exquisite white tea … the leaves are incredibly green. If I had not opened the pouch myself, I would swear that these were green tea leaves and not white. They are so tiny and delicate looking… and deeply green!
The flavor is amazing. Sweet and vegetative, tasting very much like sweet sugar snap peas as suggested by Verdant. I also taste the hint of almond to this, it tastes almost creamy like the creaminess of a raw almond, but, with the sweetness of a roasted almond (but not so much of the toasty flavor of the roasted almond). It’s really quite delightful. Delicate in the way that I taste generally only from a white tea, but, also quite green tea tasting. Very intriguing and lovely.
In subsequent infusions I notice more sweetness, like honey… reminding me of the honeysuckle of my childhood memories, but not quite that either. It’s somewhere between that honeysuckle and wildflower honey.
I really love this White tea … I can see why it has been so highly regarded by other Steepsterites. I’m enjoying this immensely.

We’ve been having Firefox problems lately, too.
awww poor Firefox. I use googlechrome and I haven’t had any problems :)
I’ve started composing my notes in word to keep track of them and prevent losing them.
It’s especially nice when I write matcha reviews and want to make sure I get to 200 words.
