This tea is a real treat. It’s refreshing and citrus-y smelling, the taste reminds of mango and kiwi. It’s astringent and has a cotton-smooth quality on the palate.

This tea is of shallow body and bears no resemblance to a white tea. The colour is gray and it has no scent. Only good for blending with some other tea.

However I try to make this tea, bigger or smaller amount of leaves, longer or shorter infusion times, milk added or plain, the overwhelming bergamot scent (perfume rather, I’d say) simply does not allow me to enjoy tea. It even takes over all other flavours when I blend it with other teas. I have to make it drinkable by adding honey or lemon juice (milk does not help at all – it only aggravates!)
