I SO wanted to like white tea. It’s light, refreshing, delicate—yes please! But why oh why must there be grassiness. Curse you grassiness!!! You are the BANE of my tea-loving existence. I do not understand how people can appreciate you. I once ATE grass, and did not enjoy it at the least (hush, I was a child, I was curious) and so why there are many who enjoy a hot steaming cup of grass I will perhaps wonder over forever. (I once entertained the idea that “green” tea was so labeled in order to warn those who know the truth about grassiness to stay away)
I would like to share the following that Erin posted while describing Adagio’s White Pear: “like latex and corn syrup stewed in a mug with some asparagus.” YES. YES YES YES. WHY.
Also, although this smells deliciously of promises of peary goodness, there is no “pear flavour,” Teaopia. I could not find it.

Perhaps that is why I like green teas. I constantly ate grass as a child (pretending I was a pony XD ) and liked it.
Oh no, was this your first experience with a white? Don’t give up! Please don’t let this turn you off of whites; there are much better ones out there. In fact, the only white I’ve ever hated was Adagio’s White Pear. It just must not be a good flavor combo. Try their White Blueberry, it is my absolute favorite flavored white. Again, don’t give up!!!
And thanks for quoting me!
