This tea is very refreshing and light. I will buy this one again.
Green tea from the slopes of the Taimu Mountains in Fujian, China. The delicate, unopened buds appear perfectly white against the young, opened green leaves. Warm colored liquor with a fresh, almost wildflower sweet scent and slightly dry finish.

This tea is very refreshing and light. I will buy this one again.
I could not get into this tea at all. I bet it may taste better blended with something, maybe a fruit or black tea, but on its own, it tasted way too earthy for my tastes.
This tea is very pale in color, and very light on the palate. I would describe the flavor as somewhat like fresh-mown grass.
To me this tea tasted like gunpowder greens, except its not balled up dry. Rather good taste, but quite astringent, if that is wha you like, this tea will reward.
Great tea, but it is a little weak, so brew with more than the recommended amount
Good, fresh tasting. I think this is a bit like a bilochun, toasty-like.
This tea is very light and fresh. I added a little bit of sugar and it was perfect.
A very nice green tea when you're craving something basic and with less caffeine. It has a sweet and mellow floral flavor, which is perfect to introduce to someone who is new to green teas. Just be make sure add a heaping teaspoon as they say on the bag and not to underbrew it!
This tea is incredibly smooth and drinkable. I only have the small sample I got for free with the order, next time I'm ordering a big bag.
Fresh baby spinach aroma before steeping (but in a good way), then slightly floral. Clean and light, very smooth flavour. If I liked cold tea, I would try it chilled.
Very delicate and light. A subtle smoky aftertaste, pale color, like a misty summer morning.
This tea was very good considering I am not a green tea fan. I dislike the grassy astringency aftertaste in normal green teas, but I did not mind trying it after reading the reviews and descriptions and recieving a free sample packet with my last order, I gave it a shot. It had a the flavor was smooth but without the bitterness.
This tea was a bit too grassy for my personal tastes, but it wasn't bitter at least.
Good earthy flavor with a pleasant gold color. I would recommend this to any one looking for a good green tea.
This was a nice delicate tasting tea. Nothing too memorable though
Very delicate flavor. This had become my newest 'go-to' for relaxation.
very good green tea. It is sweet and just a little floral, without tasting like you're drinking a flower. It is very light, maybe a little too light for my taste. I did really enjoy it with honey.
This is a nice and smooth white tea. Mixes will with any of the fruity tisane blends.
another wonderful tea!
I just boil the water and pour over the tea. Great hot or cold.
This tea is a little weak. It has a subtle taste so I would recommend brewing it for 3 minutes or more. The smell reminded me of a dragonwell. It was nutty and vegetal but it was pleasant. The taste is nutty and smooth. It has a lingering sweetness some hints of a gunpowder smoky taste but very light. I would recommend playing around with the steep time maybe increase it to about 4 minutes depending on your preference.
Received this tea in a sample packet and I really like it. Nice delicate flavor that is slightly sweet.
This is my favorite white tea that I've tried from Adagio.
really nice and floral. i'm not a fan of jasmine florals, so this nice green floral was greatly appreciated. very good.
It definitely didn't have the floral taste I was hoping for, but its a good tea regardless. The taste is very delicate and slightly buttery, with a light vegetal taste.
I picked this as a free sample since I thought it would be white tea. That aside, this tea has a nice taste to it. The floral notes are really refreshing. I feel more refreshed by the end of each sip.
delicate and floral. slightly buttery. careful not to brew to long or at a high temp. tends to become bitter.
The taste was very light and delicate, more similar to a white tea than most Chinese greens that I've experienced. It was vegetal and fresh tasting with a slight buttery note. The finish was somewhat dry but the lingering aftertaste was sweetly floral.
The tea is quite good, when made correctly.I got this as a sample in one of my orders, and it made me remember why I dislike making green tea (I've never been good at the timing). I'm sure if I had a larger package I could have perfected it eventually.
I bought a sample for my daughter who loves tea she has had green tea before but she said this was ok she said she could handle it as a every now on then tea but as a every day tea no.she said it left a odd after taste in her mouth and not in a good way.she said her first cup she did 1-2 spoons of sugar and the after taste was strong.but her sec cup she used honey and she said the after taste was worse to the point where she felt sick.so I wont order this for her again.
I was originally going to give this one a lower rating but the more I drink the better it gets. I'm not sure if this is normal or if it's something strange I'm doing but this tea seems to have a different flavor almost every time I brew it. Maybe that's because of how light the flavor is. It's a good tea for re-steeping and doesn't really get bitter. It's a bit grassy to me but in the best way.
A very yummy green tea with a very nice light flavor. I love this.
was more bitter than expected no matter how much or little tea used as well as time. 1 was too weak and 3 was too bitter. 2 minutes was bitter but drinkable.
This stuff smelled like the water after you boil shrimp. Not a good odor. however, it actually tasted pretty good. Slightly tangy.
Very light. Not my favorite green tea, but it's pretty good!
This tea has a really delicate flavor. It's the kind of tea that might be best as an introduction to the idea of green tea. It's definitely not a bad tea, but I will probably reach for my green jasmine phoenix pearls, or my Casablanca twist over this one.
This is a good green tea if you don't like the strong grassy taste of a lot of greens. Very light, but still good, smooth flavor.
Meh. Nothing to see here. It was okay for a white tea.
Crisp, clean, smooth, and lovely tea best served hot.
Seems ok. I've only brewed it by itself twice and both times I felt it was missing something. However, mixed with anything else, such as blood orange, white tangerine/peach/tropics, and it tastes great. It's pretty forgiving with steep times too.
Nice light green tea, good for those who aren't super fond of super grassy greens. Sweet and delicate, with a dry finish. Yum!
This green tea goes very nicely with fruit juices and fruity white teas. I started making my own tea drinks (like the ones you buy in the store) and found that this is a creative way to get some green tea in my daily drinks.
This tea is very smooth with a vegetal taste to it that I don't care for but I could see how someone who normally drinks greens would love how mellow this is. I got this as a sample and normally drink dark oolongs. This could be an all day tea for someone with the low caffeine content in it.
Delicate and easy to drink. A good tea for every day. It's difficult to be disgusted from due to its light flavoured nature.
I received a sample but probably will not buy it. It was ok but not special, although I tend to drink only the white teas.
Very good green tea! mix with honey and you have a nice relaxing cup of awesome!
Plain but in a good way, and another new tea I can add into my rotation. Has a light green and earthy flavor.
A perfectly crisp green tea, tastes earthy and delicious. Doesn't need much sugar, perfect on it's own.
this is a great tasting, subtle green tea. it's got a smooth, mellow flavor and is similar to a white tea in its mellow subtlety
Not one of my favorite green teas because of the astringency.
Very, very light taste. It's pretty easy to have it turn out too weak if it's not left to steep long enough.
