As I just said in another tasting note, this past week we had a coworker visit who usually works remote out of the country – in Portugal, specifically. He brought with him some white tea from a farm in the Azores that he got to visit this past year and we enjoyed a pot of it split between us on a Friday meeting.
It was honestly such good white tea. All the flavour notes that I specifically love in big, leafy/fluffy white teas were there – it was fresh and creamy with a lot of crisper and more cooling cucumber pulp type notes, along with just a bit of a fruity undertone. Like a soft plum type note. He left the rest of the bag with me, so I’m super excited to finish it off. It was so delicious and strikingly fresh tasting!
