Yunnan Sourcing posted an image of this tea before it was available and I began stalking their site once that happened…. well, it went up for purchase and I had to buy it because it is a hand rolled white tea and it such a great price to it.
The tea is beautiful. Curly fuzzy white tea is a fantastic thing, but does the taste provide what a tea lover wants? Absolutely. There isn’t any funky taste and no overwhelming wildness as many white tea has (as I would call it). I was able to resteep this one four times before I left for work this morning. It went very well with my toast as the tea wasn’t bitter nor sweet, just a nice white tea taste with a liquid that I was able to control via steeping time. I tried one darker steep to my lighter and it didn’t disrupt the flavor which was one great thing about this; that means I can play around with it :)
This is one of those teas you can show off to friends, take pictures with, drink, or pet the curly fur :)

You say you want the close up? http://www.yunnansourcing.us/store/img/p/3/3/4/2/3342-thickbox_default.jpg
that is lovely!
I’m nearly out of white, i saw you need to stock up as well, would you do it with this one if based purely on taste?
Have you got any of the yunnan or jingu to compare it with?
Do you want sweet, wild, or a floral white?
Has to have some sort of sweetness & floral present. You say this isn’t too sweet. Its hard without a point of reference to know just where it lies
