I bought this tea for my girlfriend, but turned out she wasn’t a huge fan of it – good thing I like Bai Mu Dan! This one starts off almost cloyingly sweet, with what I can only describe as a floral marshmallow sort of vibe. It settles down a little bit in subsequent steeps with some not-quite-as-sweet florals and a bit of a green hay note. Pretty good daily drinker quality tea for people who like white tea.

Flavors: Floral, Hay, Sweet

It is hard bringing them into our love of tea.

She’ll usually drink whatever I’m drinking, excepting really bitter sheng. She just didn’t feel this one was worth the effort to brew up (western style) herself when I wasn’t sharing or wasn’t there or anything :P

My wife mainly drinks black tea, but she’s diggin the YS Golden Guan Yin Da Hong Pao. It’s very smooth with just the right amount of subtle sweetness and mouthfeel to please black tea lovers.

I just tried some old jasmine tea, and didn’t like how I didn’t get any flavor out of it, but just some really bitter grass. Judging from this, do you think I should shy away from white tea?

Bio

A bit about myself: 22 years old, college grad (Double major in Anthropology and History). I plan to make a career of archaeology and hopefully travel (much of) the world in my days.

I enjoy many things aside from tea, including gaming, mixing cocktails, reading, watching anime, and painting miniatures.

My favorite type of tea is sheng puerh. Particularly younger stuff, if only because I haven’t gotten the chance to taste much of anything aged. I also really like oolong (Taiwanese, Wuyi, Dancong, etc.) and Japanese Green Teas. I do also enjoy most other kinds of tea, but they aren’t what I normally buy. I’m not a huge fan of shou puerh, black tea, or flavored blends, with few exceptions.

I really like interacting with the tea community, so if you ever want to talk or swap teas or anything, feel free to shoot me a message or something. Follow me and I’ll follow you back. Probably ;)
