So after steeping that White Mulberry for 6 minutes, it wasn’t too daunting to leave this in the basket for 8, in accordance with the instructions on the bag.
Dry, this tea smells sweet and fruity. It’s very pretty, all long leaves and flower petals. In the cup, it’s all blackcurrant. And nicely done, too – it’s very present both in the nose and in the sip. The elderberry would have been a nice companion, though – again, this is me and my search for those complex, surprising trickster teas.
I’m definitely enjoying this one, though, and I look forward to trying it iced.

Hm… I think I want a go at this one too. I once had the black currant pai mu tan from 52teas and liked it a lot. Maybe I should just go in and say ‘give me some of your flavoured whites, except that one and that one because I’ve tried those before.’ :p
Haha, yeah – that actually sounds like a plan. One of these days I’m going to walk in to either Lupicia, MF, ACP or some other favourite and say, ‘Give me one of each.’ One of these days.
I totally agree with your review about the tea. White Lounge tea is weird. When I smelled it, it was sooo good. But when I have been drinking it, I get quite bored.
