Samuel R. ★★★★★

I usually avoid white tea because it tastes like nothing, but these whole buds actually have a soft honey sweetness that lingers. Steeping at 175°F for three minutes keeps it from turning bitter.

Benjamin F. ★★★★★

I've been drinking green tea for years, so I wasn't sure what to expect from a white tea made only from the buds. The flavor is much softer and sweeter, almost like honey water, and it never turns bitter even when I forget it steeping.

Avery ★★★★★

The buds are impossibly fine and fluffy, almost like soft needles, and they unfurl into a pale golden liquor that’s unbelievably smooth. I’ve been brewing it lightly and the delicate sweetness keeps pulling me back for another cup. Definitely the most refined white tea I’ve tried yet.
