From the month Amoda Tea Box – January 2015
I got my February box in the mail today, so before cracking into those teas, I wanted to finish the last one from January’s box. I don’t know why I was saving this tea, perhaps I think it just got pushed off by all the other stuff I had to drink at the time. Que Sera Sera!
Wowza. This is not your average white. On the dry leaf, it smelled sweet, like candied orange peel and sweet summer melons. There was a touch of haylike floral scent to it as well.
The leaves produce a light straw liquor that smells honey sweet. The wet leaf has a hint of smoky sweet potato. The brew….
DIS tea, yo. The brew tastes like a sweet, summer melon, malty dream! It’s like the ‘diet’ version of my absolute favorite black teas in that it is a light and sweet version of my coveted chocolatey, malty, desserty Fujian Blacks.
This is definitely a white tea for people who don’t like white teas.
Thanks Amoda, for splurging on this tea! I may have to pick some of this up on your site :P

This is the only one from the January box I’ve yet to try – should I be doing that tomorrow on my day off? I don’t know why, but I wasn’t really excited about it until seeing your review…

I thought that too! I saw it an was like, “Eh, a white tea? Really?” but I was pleasantly surprised!
