This is one of the most flavorful black teas I have ever had, and my FIRST white2tea tea. It came in the monthly tea club box for March. Deliciously milky and malty, and would make a great morning beverage brewed western style, but is still a treat gong fu as well (like I did).

This was a fine tea to enjoy for my morning, but nothing to crow about. I recommend it because it is a good quality tea, but not a super favorite by any means. Gets nice and dark in color, average mouthfeel, but not very aromatic at all and does not have a super distinct or bold flavor.

One that I have had in storage for a while and drank before but have not reviewed yet. Drinking the last of what I have this morning. Dark like cacao, mildly smoky, it reminds me of a summer campfire. Pleasant mouthfeel that is not super thick but not too “watery” thin. Will probably need to buy this again in the future if possible.

This has been a wonderful experience to have the past couple mornings. Starts off well, almost like a red tea, but then becomes thicker and more woody the more I drink it. In the end, it leaves me satisfied like I ate a hearty meal. Would actually be a good daily drinker.

Tasted a bit too much like a chlorinated pool for me. Other notes include autumn leaves, at least a fall mood like maple and brown leaves.

White teas are typically not my favorite. However, this one has a pleasant mouthfeel and does not become astringent if you follow the steeping instructions closely and do very short steeps. I first had this in-person at their teahouse before buying 50g later during one of their sales. Smooth, even buttery, and fairly floral/sweet… like a berry. The wet leaves smell strongly like a jam! Note that steep time says 15s but I did about 6s.

What a lovely tea! So fragrant straight out of the package, not to mention when the leaves are hydrated. Smooth, not astringent at all, nice thick mouthfeel.

Reminds me of dried plants such as wheat, and hay, specifically alfalfa hay. While I wouldn’t recommend it, all that means for me is I think there are much better teas to recommend if I were. It’s certainly not awful or anything.
