27 Tasting Notes
This is my first white tea and I must say that I am not sure if I like it. It smells wonderful, but being used to much stronger teas it is kind of weak for me.
I am glad that I only purchased a sample, so that I am not stuck with a bunch of tea that I won’t drink. Oh well, maybe my son will like it :)
I am sending you some Rivertea Mulberry white, it is really loved on here. If you don’t like that one you might not be a white tea person. Or, maybe wait a while and see if your tea preferences change after a few months.
I think I will wait….I did not like pu-reh when I first tried it, but now it’s my favorite. :)
I like whites if they have a nice flavor, like melon or the mulberry. Plain doesn’t taste like much to me though.
This one was pretty plain, maybe that’s the problem.
I agree with Marzipan. Plain whites just don’t do it for me, they taste a bit watery. Do you enjoy jasmine? I’m fond of a nice jasmine silver needle.
Cookies,
I adore Jasmine! Is there any particular one that you recommend?
I have a one that I buy in bulk from Wegmans. Want me to send you some?
Seriously? That is so generous of you. That would be wonderful! I don’t have a lot so far, but would be happy to send you something in return or even reimburse you for it.
No worries. Tea is light and I’m usually at the post office every Friday anyway so it’s no trouble. Just PM me your address.
I received this tea from Marzipan in her 52 teas sampler. It’s very different from any other Chai that I have tasted before.
This was a “Smokey” chai. I did taste a bit of smoke flavor. After adding a bit of almond milk and some honey it was perfect! So good that I drank two cups.
Flavors: Smoke, Spices
Preparation
This is my very first review, so y’all bear with me. :)
I received this free sample from Stacy today and was not sure if I would like it at all. I asked her to pick out my samples and she did a terrific job with this one!
I tasted the chocolate and strawberry the strongest.
The first steep was a little disappointing, until I realized that the water wasn’t hot enough.The second steep was AMAZING! I added a bit of brown sugar and it was the most perfect tea ever, tasted like a liquid version of my Mother’s strawberry cupcakes. YUMMY!
