June Sipdown Prompt – a white tea

This tea arrived in a box of many teas that I am excited about from Youngest today! Many thanks!

Opening the pouch, the first thing that hits me is the same aroma I found in Fig Formosa Oolong from this company. When you read the description of Fig Formosa they do mention it having grape flavor. I think it must be the very same flavoring as was used in this tea.

I made a pot of tea and poured one cup hot and then flash chilled the rest. The hot cup was a very nice balance of white tea flavor and grape flavor. The grape flavor does not cover up the white tea.

The flash chilled tea initially seemed to have more white tea flavor with a bit of a musky, grape must edge to it. As the tea sat out in the pitcher coming closer to room temperature, the grape flavor and sweetness seemed to grow, although the white tea base was still present.

This is really delicious, makes a great cold tea even unsweetened, and would probably be good sweetened as well.

I am locked in battle with this tea.

I have braved the trials and illness of days 4 and 5 in caffeine purgatory, only to reward myself with a troubling blend indeed. Zealot that I am for basically everything in this ingredient list and for artificial grape flavor, this tea seemed destined to be my soulblend. I stuck my nose into the bag eagerly and was met with an aroma that could be said to be grape in the same way as the aged, grape-scented eraser that fit snugly in the miniature juice carton for the family dollhouse growing up – sort of faded and elusive, but yes, maybe grape? The smell is sweet and marshmallowy but the grape is difficult to pin down without pulling the bag on over your head.

Moving on, I followed the recommended steeping directions and the result was, I think, concerningly pale in color and in palate. In trying to magnify the flavors enough to get a detailed read on them, I have gone ballistic. I made a second cup with an increased steep time and water temperature; I have sniffed the leaves and the cup until I have gotten lightheaded; I’ve sipped, I’ve swished, I have LITERALLY gargled with this tea, but I am having the most devilish time unlocking the flavors sufficiently to really enjoy and analyze this cup. I will file this one away to be reassessed when one or both of us are better disposed to cooperate.

Gargling! Now there’s a technique to try! (I’m with you—try as I might, I just can’t coax anything substantial out of a white tea.)
