Delicate white (green?) tea. I’m not convinced this is a white. It doesn’t really taste like a green, but it doesn’t taste like any white I’ve ever had.

Lightly vegetal (zucchini flesh, cucumber, dried leaves/herbs in your spice cupboard) it reminds me a bit of bay leaves and white coriander seeds. Almost savoury rather than sweet spices, but nothing I can put my finger on. It isn’t a taste I can really describe well.

Flavors: Coriander Seed, Cucumber, Herbs, Vegetal, Zucchini

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 4 min, 15 sec 1 tsp 17 OZ / 500 ML

I got it as a sample from JK7ray on reddit in one of her stash sample sales. I’m not sure it it is 2015 or 2014. It didn’t seem to have lost too much flavour, though, for a white/green tea.

Bio

I studied biochem and botany at University with a focus on genetics and evolutionary biology. Now, I work in biology setting up labs for students. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. Most of my teas are older and in smaller smounts, so I can’t offer samples of most blends. But you can still message me any time :)

My cupboard and stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing are both outdated and I have not organized my current list of teas in several years.
Most of these are only tiny samples/I can’t always spare any, but feel free to ask.

Rum/alcohol, clove, cardamom, rosemary, pine, sage, anise, moss/Earthy, lychee, floral, creamy, malt, hay, rice/grain, toasty, desserty, cocoa/chocolate, decaf or no caffeine, very unusual flavours
