I’m always hesitant when I drink straight whites and greens. I don’t enjoy grassy flavours, or ones that just taste . . . planty . . . at all. Thankfully this tea didn’t have that. It is very light, almost too light even more me. I had a few sips of it without adding anything and found it had a slight underhint of something. I hesitate to say vanilla but there was definitely something nice sneaking in. Wondering if some sugar would highlight it so I could pinpoint what I was tasting I added a halfspoon of sugar. And wow, suddenly the tea was almost tasteless.
I don’t dislike this tea, but it isn’t my favourite white so I don’t think I’ll be purchasing it again. It isn’t a bad tea, it just isn’t memorable or something I see myself ever having a craving for.

I see why this tea seems tasteless for you… You steep it at 90 degree and during only 5 minutes.
A white tea needs to be steeped during 10 minutes at 75 degree. I always infuse this tea in a ceramic teapot at the bottom of the teapot without any infuser. With that method all the taste is released and the ceramic keeps your tea hot during a long time when it infuse.
Hope it helps! :)
The first time I brew I try to follow the guidelines the store gives me. Of course half the time they’re wrong, but I like giving them the benefit of the doubt ;) I’m definitely going to go for a more traditional white steep next time to see if it has a difference!
