Good, but a little too light. Doesn't get pulled out as often as other teas for me.
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.

I wish white monkey and golden monkey would hook up and have a baby. They could call it slightly tan monkey. Then they should let me drown their love child in 180 degree water and drink his essence.
This is a great everyday green tea. I like it with a pinch of apricot green.
A great subltle green tea. Second infusion was just as good as the first!
I love the earthy notes this tea has. It tastes great any time of the day.
This is my go to, everyday green tea. Great price, great taste.
Besides the fact that this tea is a little bit light in taste and color it was very good, I like that it had a hint of unexpected sweetness.
Very light and grassy tasting. May make a good summer time iced green tea.
very light, a favorite at the office. we place orange slices in the carafe and it makes a nice sweet combination
I love this light, but crisp, green tea. It works especially well as a base for lightening a strong tea.
The first steep gave a strong hay-like or barley-like taste, with a light green-yellow liquor. Second steep sharpened the characteristic green tastes and made the liquor a stronger color. Good, but not my favorite.
Good flavor, but it can be a little weak. Be careful not to underbrew
Not a bad base green tea... however, gunpowder is more my 'cup of tea.'
This is a nice delicate green tea. I enjoy it as part of my tea rotation much like xue ya ballad
This is a nice subtle tea that tastes heavenly with a dab of honey added.
Very delicate green that reminds me of both Adagio's White Symphony and Green Anji. As with many greens, more of the flavors come out as the tea cools. It also tastes sweeter as I go.
I like white monkey tea. It produces a very light cup of tea compared to other green teas.
Mild and refreshing! I'm not the biggest fan of green tea but this was very nice. I would recommend it to anyone new to green teas.
I am not a huge fan of the white teas. This tastes almost like water to me ... to subtle.
A nice, light green tea. There are a few other green's I'd prefer to try before reordering this, but it's still a good tea.
My favorite green tea are those with lighter flavors, and this one does not disappoint.
nice mellow yummy green with a hint of sweetness.
Pretty much my favorite plain green tea. It's very smooth.
The reason I ordered this one was its name. It ended up being nothing white and nothing monkey. Green is not my favorite.
This is a nice green tea. I think I will like it better iced than hot, though.
A nice, subtle green tea, depsite the name WHITE monkey. Although it's not my favorite green tea, I will be restocking this soon!
I bought this tea because I wanted to try a green tea. I opened the tin and immediately disliked the smell, and when I drank a cup, I felt like I was drinking someone's lawn. I gave it to my friend and she loved it, so I think you just have to be a fan of green tea to enjoy this. If you're looking to try a green tea for the first time, I'd recommend picking something milder.
My all-time favorite green tea! It's not too weak or strong. A cup of this really gives me comfort.
My first foray into green loose leaf tea. It's not as sweet as I'm used to, but it's mild for when I'm in the mood for something gentle. Would definitely consider buying it again.
Excellent tea, delicate and nutty. One of my favorites.
This is the cleanest, smoothest tea I've ever had. A new favorite.
This is one of my morning favorites. Mild, yet comforting.
I know this sounds a little odd but the smell prior to steeping reminds me of buttered vegetable with a pinch of pepper. The coloring seemed to be a typical green tea color. The taste is smooth and light with a bit of sweetness. A good starter tea for those who are unsure or not used to greens. I think I like it. :)
Incredibly smooth and mild taste. Leans toward the white tea side with a light body, slight briskness, and slightly sweet background. Not a strong nose but pleasant, somewhat flowery aroma. Overall an excellent, refreshing tea =]
This smelled very, very odd and plant-like during the steeping process, and I was very put off by it. Once I drank it, though, I immediately changed my mind. I love it!
Not as good as I was hoping, but it could be that I don't like green teas as much as whites or oolongs. Maybe I should stick with those, or with the flavored greens.
This is a delicious first-flush green tea. It has berry notes and is very lightly vegetal. I love this tea at any time of day
This tea is mild but very good. It is a very good tea for with dinner.
This is probably my favorite tea. It's a great light tea.
This, my friends, is one of the smoothest green teas I've ever had the pleasure of drinking, my next order of this will be MUCH larger than the sampler :)
This is by far my favorite green tea from Adagio. Tastes of alfalfa with a slight lingering sweetness to it. It is like a stronger and fuller pi lo chun.
One of the best green teas I've tried. Has a nice grassy flavor that I expect from green tea. I have no problem drinking this without any sweeteners.
Sweet woody flavor. Very rich and one of my favorites.
This is a pretty tea, with a nice aroma. We liked the dragonwell better however.
This is a great tea when brewed properly. A nice light and delicate taste. Reminds me of a cool lazy summer afternoon.
Very, very delicate grassy flavors, careful not to oversteep the tea!
I bought some White monkey for my Mom and she went 'ape' over it, or should I say monkey. :) She's been asking me to order some more.
This was a complete disappointment! I love the black tea, Golden Monkey, so I thought this would be a great white version. I was terribly disappointed. It virtually has no smell or taste.
Very light and mellow tea, I would steep it a little longer than suggested
Green tea with odd flavor and you really need to be in the mood to drink this
