"An excellent introduction to the white teas. I am probably very new to them, so I felt only small difference. So till I develop the taste for them, I would probably be ordering white symphony or white peony, which is not so expensive. And then in a few months I will try the sampler again, to see whether I would recognize the differences better. "

"This sampler contains some of the best white teas offered here and is great if you are just getting into them. There is a good range between the more expensive to cheaper varieties and gives you a good feel for what you should aim towards for continued drinking. All white teas are very delicate and subtitle in taste, but after drinking these side by side, I really enjoyed and honed in more on silver needle. Go 7-10 mins depending on the tea, and for white peony I liked a slightly lower temp."

"Very plesant, this was the first white tea I've tried and I'm glad I did. Each was gentle with a touch of sweetness. I would recomend using filtered or bottled water due the the light flavor."

"All are excellent; wonderful aroma, great taste. Snowbud is my favorite - very light, almost a clear liquor, but an excellent flavor; all are likely to be reordered!"

"White teas are always refreshing to me. a nice break from the down to earth black teas that I usually drink. The White Symphony knocked me off my feet. "
