From DAVIDsTEA

A most beautiful tea

This is a true luxury, considered by many to be China’s most famous white tea. To create it, only the downy, silvery unopened buds of the tea plant are picked by hand during the April harvest. How does this influence the flavour and aroma? Connoisseurs rave about its sweet complexity, and about an underlying grassy taste that makes it uniquely perfect. (MK Kosher)

Ingredients: High-grown white tea from the mountains of Fujian Province, China.

Price: $14.50 per 50g

Yummy! This is my first straight white tea and it’s pretty good! I think I prefer green and oolongs, but I will definitely finish the bag.

I really like this and used to buy it a lot but I found it was just getting too expensive. So I gave it up for cheaper pastures. I do recommend though for white tea lovers.

Even after oversteeping it, it wasn’t bitter at all and was quite pleasant.

My DavidsTea accomplice pointed this out as one of the very few teas on the wall I hadn’t tried, so I did. I’m a fan of white tea, but perhaps I was expecting more flavour. To me, it just tasted like slightly grassy water with a refined edge to it. If I wanted something completely plain it would be an okay choice, but it was missing the lightness of Jasmine or something that I have had in other only slightly flavoured white teas. I didn’t think it tasted acidic as some other comments have stated, but I DID taste something regal about it. Perhaps I just bought in to the “true luxury” claim on the container though. Regardless, I’m still a sucker for most white teas.

An alright white tea, more acidic than I expected. Quite grassy in taste, not a big fan.

It smells like a good Bai Hao Yin Zhen, and tea leaves are realy nice. Taste almost nothing tho. A cup of hot water with some distant note of white tea in the after taste. I should try it steeped longer and at a lower temperature, instead of the DAVIDsTea indications. Will change my note if it actually taste way better that way.
