From RiverTea

This tea reigns from the moisture rich Fujian Province in China where white teas are harvested in early spring to give them the white peach fuzz appearance and soft mouthfeel. This white tea’s melodiously delicate flavor is embellished with the pungent tartness of Mulberry to give you a luxurious fruit confection. The health benefits of the white mulberry tea are as equally divine as its flavor, it is chock full of antioxidants to help strengthen your immune system against illness. It also packs a surprising amount of calcium.

Ingredients: White tea, Mulberries, Papaya bits, Apple bits, Flavourings, Marigold blossoms, Jasmine blossoms, Cornflower blossoms.

70°C/158°F 2 tsp 2-4 minutes

It’s not often that I find a tea that on the first sip has me thinking ‘oh my gosh, I need to get more this tea immediately!" Its even less often that I find a tea that’s every bit as delicious on the second steep as it on the first.

I tend to only drink white and greens in the summer. There’s just something about Blacks, chais, and oolongs that I can not stand the moment the thermostat hits 70 degrees and up.
I thinks its the acrid, coppery taste they leave behind. Or too many summers drinking my Momma’s overstepped Lipton Southern Sweet Tea. Who knows.

I’ve had this tea for less than a week and I’m already in a mild panic of how I’m going to stretch it out long enough for me to buy a 100gs because I drink at least two pots of it a day. Funnily enough I’m the only person in our house that actually enjoys it. More for me!

Taste: I have no idea what mulberries actually taste like, so I can’t say from experience if the taste is artificial or not. There is a candy-ish quality to it, especially in the dry leaf smell. I as worried the tea itself would taste cotton candy.

I will note that I enjoyed this tea to its full extent after the third time I made it because I hd finally steep it properly. Water temperature really is everything, I’m starting to understand that. The first time I steeped this tea it was with boiling water directly over the leaves. Not an awful outcome, but there was a slight bitterness to the white tea that I didn’t mind all that much. Stupidly, I had dumped the leaves immediately after instead of doing a second steep. I was also worried that the fruit would overpower that actual tea, thankfully it didn’t. The actual tea base is good quality, not weak at all.

Second Steep: Slightly watered down, yet darker than the first steep. The fruity taste takes a backseat to the more floral notes. I’m not someone who enjoys floral teas but for some reason the floral and fruity notes blend harmoniously in this tea – something I noticed with the Tuscan Sun as well. A little more vegetal and little less creamy. The actual tea comes out a little weak but still a very satisfying cup.

Scent: The SMELL! My word, you could smell this tea from the kitchen! Creamy, fruity and sweet with a satisfying vegetal scent of the actual white tea. The smell is even stronger as it steeps, and lingers even after the second steep. Heavenly.

Color: Clear Pale gold on the first steep (a little surprising. I’d assumed Mulberries meant a darker colored liquid) Darker gold/amber on the second steep.

Sounds awesome! I love mulberries!

Ok, I’m in a really weird frame of mind right now. I just finished watching “Oldboy” (the original one from Korea, not the US remake), and Jesus Christ, that movie is effed up. I mean, I knew the plot because of Wikipedia, but still…..oy. I wasn’t expecting…..I don’t know what I was expecting, but it definitely wasn’t that.

So I sipped a pot of this while watching it. It was good, but this tea isn’t quite hitting all of the right buttons for me. I was expecting a tea that was really bright and juicy, something with a nice pop to it, but this one has a darker, smoother flavour. I want to call it “smoky” but that’s not really the right word – just the most fitting one I can think of right now. Maybe “caramelized” is a better fit. I could definitely smell and taste the apple and probably the papaya, but I’ve never had fresh mulberries so I’m not sure how to pick that flavour out.

This is definitely a good tea replacement for dessert, but maybe my head’s just on the wrong way because of that damned movie.

I wanted to love this company so much, I love their website and their packaging…unfortunately, I liked none of their blends, except for some of the straight teas I got, but even so, nothing out of the ordinary.

Christina / BooksandTea

To be fair, white teas in general are pretty hit-and-miss for me. I just went with this one because it’s gotten such good reviews on here. So far my favourite blend of theirs is Crazy Mint.

Terri HarpLady

I didn’t feel inspired to order from their menu, but Sil & Cavo have sent me a bunch of samples, including this one. Maybe this weekend I’ll finally get around to trying them…

This was the third sample with my first RiverTea order. Based on this experience, it definitely won’t be the last! The packaging was fabulous — it’s probably the most nicely put together package I’d received in a long time. The free samples and the complementary spoon were welcome surprises, too.

Anyway, the tea. This smells wonderful dry, and equally wonderful brewed. It’s sweet, with a strong note of fruit and berries. The dry leaf contains generously sized pieces of papaya, and pretty blue and yellow petals among the white peony leaves. The taste is luscious, rich caramel and mulberry, with sweet, juicy papaya. The white tea base adds a slightly floral, slightly peachy note, and there’s also a hint of apple. It’s very, very creamy. Drinking this is almost on a par with eating some decadent dessert!

I’d heard a lot about this one, so I’m glad to have had the opportunity to try it. It’s definitely one I’d consider adding to a future order. There’s definitely going to be one — I can feel it coming on already!

Another sample from, Cavocorax!

This one was very rushed, because I’d forgotten she sent it, and I decided to brew it up to taste at the last minute just before I put in a River Tea order, thought it would be good to try it first.

Put it this way, I ordered some!
It was flavorful yet also delicate and delicious, reminded me a bit of Butiki’s Cantelope and Cream tea probably just the daintiness and subtlety of the flavoring.

It was rushed but yummy, thanks Cavo!

TeaLady441

Awesome! To be honest, I’d forgotten I’d sent you the last of mine. Haha. But I’m happy you liked it and were able to get in on that awesome sale!

Yeah for sure!!

I got a cup of hot water this morning when I got to to work, and then I forgot for a while to steep anything in it. It was still hot, but not as hot, so I used the last of the sample I received of this, as this is a white tea, and actually good with the cooler hot water.

I really like this tea, and I just need to order some. I have DavidsTea Pistachio Cream, which has a lot of mulberry, but no actual tea. I also discovered I like white tea…who knew?

This was one of the samples I ordered with my RiverTea order.

It’s very reminiscent of Cantaloupe & Cream, a light tea base and light, but still apparent flavours. Overall a tasty tea, but maybe not one I need in my own cupboard. Though I can see why everyone enjoys it.

I still have some more, so I may try adding more leaf to my cup for a bit more flavour.

Hm. I loved this hot – it was really quite lovely, and very, very similar to the other mulberry tea I just had – down to them both having papaya in them. They smell the same, they look the same, however this one got really weird and off-putting as it cooled. Something tart and drying made it into the mix, instead of the initial sweet juiciness. If I get my hands on this again I’ll try to see if I can get something else out of it, however right now? I can’t finish the cup. :(

I’m pretty sure this came from Cavocorax and for that, I thank you.

Oh no! I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you. If you ever feel like trying it again, let me know and I can send more your way. I like it enough that I’ll probably try to keep some on hand.

MissB

I’m really wondering if it’s user error… it may well be. I’d love to try more, eventually. When my cupboard is more manageable. ;)

TeaLady441

Cool – I made a note so I can check back later on. ;D

I finally got my order after a month of waiting!!

I purchased this because of all the reviews of having it taste like Gold’s Rush. Not too bad it smells amazing caramelly but fruity all in one. My first sip was more fruity more than anything, like papaya ish with apples, it was somewhat overwhelmingly fruity. It was interesting because I kept smelling the caramel notes to it yet the taste was fruity. Idk I can’t compare it to Gold’s Rush. I’m still content with it though, idk if I’d order more because I purchased 100g lol.

Posting a tasting note on behalf of my brother, who I sent a package of RiverTeas to for his birthday. This tea is apparently “crazy good”! Now I need to try it XD

Roswell Strange

IT IS TOTALLY CRAZY GOOD! Apologies for the caps; but this blend makes me excited.
