I am not a fan of white tea — never have been. I can’t figure out how to work it into my daily routine — is it a morning tea, an afternoon tea, or an evening tea? All in all, though, this one was pretty good. It wasn’t too heavy and had a unique, indescribable, vegetal flavor to it. It ended up being an afternoon tea for me, as the caffeine was just enough to be keep me going but not enough to help start the day.

I really like white teas as cold brews (and it is definitely the weather for it!) I can sip on them throughout the day in a thermos and feel refreshed and energized but there isn’t enough caffeine that if I keep sipping my water bottle into the evening that it ruins my night routine.

I’ll have to try this as a cold brew! I have generally heard that white tea isn’t as caffeinated as the other varieties but then I read another article saying that white teas vary so much in caffeine that some are as low as greens and some even higher than blacks, so I was concerned about drinking them too late. It sounds like your experience is more of the former…?

My tea habits generally depend on my mood and the season but, in general, my preferred teas are black teas, especially those grown in Sri Lanka and India. I will occasionally drink other types, though.

Unless noted in my review, I brew my tea western style and do not use additives (milk/cream, sugar, etc.).

I am definitely not an expert when it comes to tea, so I apologize if my reviews differ from the experiences you’ve had with any of the teas I have logged.

Please feel free to contact me and let me know if you have a favorite that I have to try! :)

100: Perfect.

90, 95: Excellent.

80, 85: Very good.

70, 75: Good.

60, 65: Okay.

50, 55: Meh.

40, 45: Not so good.
