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

I don’t like reviewing teas “retroactively” but I really need to do it with this one. I only had a sample of it – enough for a pot for my husband and me, which means I have no more to try and review it later in the “afresh” mode.
So… I remember that it was fairly-fragrant, lovely-looking loose leaf – pieces of fruit (papaya) and calendula petals mixed in with downy white tea leaves. I noticed that RiverTea products’ flavoring is usually pretty subtle and I was afraid that with this one I am not going to get much beyond the base white tea. But I tasted… MULBERRY. It was definitely mulberry. And I don’t know how I know it because I’ve never had any mulberry. Okay, that is really odd, but I absolutely know that what they achieved in this tea is freakin’ mulberry. Sweet, smooth (and non-hibiscus like!) tartness, makes me think of a red, small, rounded fruit… but unlike any other I know.
Okay, I just google mulberry! Hmph! Looks like a blackberry. Perhaps it is somewhat related to it flavor-wise… Yeah, blackberry would be my closest guess.
I must actually get this tea next time and then I will attempt to review it again. This is more for “bookkeeping” purposes and the rating… Because I do remember loving it!
Other than that I’ve been still trying to reach sipdown status with many teas… And I discovered that 1 oz. is a LOT of tea – I still have so many Della Terra teas left since December/late November last year. And I only ordered an ounce of each!
