I put a kilo of this tea in my last YS order as a white tea aging experiment. I somewhat enjoy fresh white tea, but I’ve really liked the tastes of the aged whites that I’ve had, and I thought it would be fun to watch this one transform over the years.

Flavors of dry grass and flowers, peach, and fresh herbs like basil or thyme. It has a minty cooling quality that lingers in the mouth. Somewhat malty, but certainly different than black tea type malt. Very tasty! It may prove harder than I expected to leave this one alone and let it age, though the kilo should last me quite a while.

Flavors: Dry Grass, Floral, Malt, Mint, Peach

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 0 min, 15 sec 8 g 4 OZ / 120 ML

High quality white tea is a real treat. I was considering purchasing some of this one, as I prefer the Fujian whites to the Yunnan ones, but I purchased a 250g of baimudan from Wuyi Origin because it’s the best white tea I’ve ever purchased. I will add some of YS’s Fuding white tea to my next order just to compare.

Sounds good! I haven’t ordered from Wuyi Origin yet, but I’ve been thinking about it

I think high quality white tea is one of the rarer treats of the western tea drinker. It’s really easily overlooked because of the lack of hype. This keeps the prices lower, through!

Bio

Tea addict since around 2011.

My favorites are pu’erhs, blacks/reds, and roasted oolongs, but I have a growing interest in good whites, and sometimes enjoy greens.

Currently trying to get an education, working a part time job, expand my ceramics/pottery skills, and trying to make the best of existential crisis.

Other than tea I love the outdoors, ceramics, guitar, and diy/building things.

I started a tea blog in February 2018, though admittedly I haven’t updated it much lately.

When I give a tea a numerical rating it’s simply meant to reflect a balance of how well I enjoyed the tea and how it compares to others of the same style. I don’t follow any universal rating criteria, and my ratings are mainly meant for my own use, to remember what I though of a tea and if I want to repurchase.
