With no other white tea experience to compare this to, I can say the flavor is somewhat fruity and evident, bu not whether it is strong or strongER than other white teas.

I enjoyed the pleasant aroma of the beautifully bronze liquor the leaves produce. The taste reminds me of some oolongs I’ve sampled recently, but the mouth feel is different. The flavor is lighter and lingers more on the front of my tongue than my entire mouth.

I understand this is low in caffeine, so I may steep some more as an evening cup to share. In any case – a very pleasant experience.

I always have to squint and think really hard to catch much character in any white tea :) Too many years of drinking unleaded. That and my, um, parsimonious nature (spelled c-h-e-a-p!) rebels against having to put two full teaspoons into a single cup.

I can appreciate the economy of it all. This was a gracious gift, and I am so completely enjoying my journey from a world of coffee to a veritable universe of tea. The secret is out, and I have years of catching up to do!

I’ve heard others refer to me as a Renaissance man. I’m more apt to describe myself in a sentence ending with “…and master of none.”

I play music. I design and build things. I love art and quirky stuff. And I have a really cool wife.

In an attempt at a more graceful aging, I entered the wonderful world of tea for its health benefits in 2017. A home roaster and seasoned coffee-ologist, I dove quickly in, gleaning knowledge from every source possible and tasting all I could afford to buy, beg or borrow. Hundreds of cups, pots, bags and blends into it, I still consider myself a neophyte Steepster.

I’ve discovered I am a huge fan of Pu-erh and Assam, and quickly warmed up to Oolong, Yunnan Blacks, Keemun, and Matcha.

I enjoy Tisanes, too. We buy herbs in bulk and blend for both benefits and taste. In that order.
