Interesting white tea. The leaves are soft and velvety. Lightly astringent, vegetal, and fresh tasting. I’m a big fan of the Canteloupe and Cream white tea by Butiki but this is a nice straight white. Recommended steep time is way longer than I usually steep white teas though so I usually alter it to somewhere in between.
After getting sick for the third time within about a three-month period I decided to try and drown it out with tea. I never liked tea growing up, but in my early twenties my taste buds had finally changed enough to find the flavors.
Started with flavored blacks from Teavana (gasp), and now am primarily a white/green tea drinker. I’ve recently fallen in love with matcha.
I love teapots, tea cups, and tea sets, but mainly use my Timolino or Contigo travel mugs because they’re leak-proof and hold the heat for so long! Drinking a cup of tea before it gets cold usually doesn’t happen as I set it down and get distracted with something else only to return to it when it’s (if I’m lucky) lukewarm.
