drank Moonlight White by DAVIDsTEA
82 tasting notes

There’s not a lot going on in this tea, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The tea is smooth to a fault, with sweet honey and mineral notes. The colour of the liquor completely surprised me, even knowing it’s a white pu’erh. I thought I’d drink this one alongside DAVIDsTEA’s Royal White Peony, another straight white tea, just so I could taste the differences between a traditional white tea and a white pu’erh (I don’t drink straight whites frequently so I forgot what mouthfeel was like), but that was completely unnecessary. This is completely unlike anything else I’ve tried. It’s so smooth and refreshing that I may just have to pick up more.

Flavors: Honey, Mineral, Smooth

Bio

I’ve been drinking tea for as long as I can remember — my mom used to have “tea time” with me every afternoon, drinking some Twinings Earl Grey with milk and sugar in my grandmother’s antique tea cups. Before I went to university, I worked at a DAVIDsTEA in my hometown, which solidified the obsession.

I’m in my first year of law school, after completing an undergraduate degree in political science and anthropology. I use she/her pronouns, and I’m vegetarian (not quite vegan — I still drink blends that contain milk-based ingredients). My other hobbies include fragrance, crocheting, journalling, skiing, hiking, and reading sci-fi and fantasy novels.

LIKES
Apple, peppermint, caramel, vanilla, coconut, jasmine tea, malty black teas, sweet blackberry leaves, guayusa, white tea, peach, strawberry, raspberry leaves, Chinese teas, anything smooth and creamy!!! Highly caffeinated blends have my heart.

DISLIKES
Ginger, cinnamon, peppercorns, hibiscus, alcoholic notes, stevia. I prefer teas that don’t contain dairy or artificial flavouring.
