From Upton Tea Imports

(ZWP2) A 2014 production Pre-Chingming white tea produced in the Hunan Province. This unique selection consists of only the buds from the tea plant. The aroma is delicate and sweet with melon hints. The tea liquor has just a hint of color, of the palest ecru, with flavor notes of sugar cookie and crisp melon with hints of flowers, spice and pine.

We ordered a sample of this from Upton Tea and I used the full 6 grams in the gaiwan, which ends up being difficult to fill to cover them with water. The buds are beautiful. White with pastel green streaks, and they have a scent that makes them seem like they’ll brew up quite grassy.

The liquor is a very clear, light yellow, and it is, interesting, both light and thick. It’s got a spiced, slightly floral flavor, and of course, the overall flavor is quite light in this steep. It’s quite palate-cleansing.

The second steep comes through also very light in color, but a bit stronger in flavor. Definitely still getting that spiced sweetness, with some very light hints of lemon. The SO compares it to a yellow fruit loop, which I can’t disagree with.

The flavor remains pretty consistent for a good few steeps. All in all, a good experience!
