White Monkey Customer Reviews

One of my favorite green teas. It's sweet and fresh, and has the perfect 'green' taste.

Definitely one of the more interesting greens. It's even fun to answer 'What are you drinking?' with 'White monkey. Duh!'

I really liked this one... when they say delicate, they mean it. Not a very strong flavor so it helps to use a a bit more per cup.

Wonderful flavor... rich, refreshing, crisp. and great for the antioxidant properties.

This is a decent tea, smooth and easy to drink. Not a favorite though.

Very delicate outstanding tea, similar to silver needle, but with the fuller body of a green tea. Extremely smooth with a pleasantly sweet ending, zero bitterness, Excellent.

Another of my favorite green teas. It's so light it is almost a white tea. A light, smooth flavor.

This is a nice green tea, but I prefer the green anji as an every day drinking tea. I probably wouldn't reorder.

NICE MILD FLAVOR, REALLY ENJOYED THIS TEA, WOULD DEFINITELY PURCHASE AGAIN.

A nice, light cup of tea, no frills added. This is great for those of you who like simple drinks.

This tea was ok. I liked it less than the green pekoe. Had a funny aftertaste.

As the name implies it's somewhere between white and green in terms of taste and color. Needed to make it a bit strong, flavor is very faint.

My favorite green tea. A lovely, mellow cup for the evenings, when I don't want much caffeine. Calming, smooth, and not a hint of the grassiness that turns so many off green teas.

It doesn't hold up well to more than two steepings, in my opinion, but two is plenty.

Hubby liked this more than me. I thought it had almost a mushroom earthiness to it which wasn't my favorite. Still a nice mellow tea that we both enjoyed, just to varying degrees.

This is a great light green tea, good any time of the day.

Very good tea. I like as a hot tea rather than iced.

I love this tea. I buy it everytime i order tea from here. Love to drink it anytime.

Pretty good-- but just a little too mild for my tastes

This was a nice tea with a slight sweetness to it. Very nice for just sitting around with a good book.

Its alright. It has a green tea taste, but extremely light! If you really love green tea I wouldnt recommened this. If your new to green tea than this would be a great choice.

I'm a new tea drinker, so tried White Monkey since it's so light compared to the rest of the green teas. It's a nice tea if you want something very light, or even good to mix White Monkey with one of the green fruit teas.

I don't like strong teas, but this one could use a little more flavor.

Extremely subltle green-floral aroma. Flavor is very light, and 'fresh plant' tasting. There is also a nice subtle sweetness to the tea

It's good if you looking for something extremely delicate.

I didn't think this tea was very good, but then again I found that I'm not much for greens.

A very nice green tea. It has a very pleasant mild and smooth taste.

I am a big fan of the golden monkey, so I was curious to try this one. It smelled almost identical, but lacked the flavor of golden monkey.

Mild green, not great, not bad. Doesn't really stand out.

The light flavor of this is almost like white tea, but it's cheap enough

Might need to try it a few more times for time and temp, kind of bland.

this tea had a nice mild flavor. I like my teas to have a little extra sweetness (usually with fruit added), but for one that stands alone, it was good!

I enjoyed this one alot. Taste is something like a very light green tea, very close to tasting like a white tea. I'm definitely a fan.

Very good tea, a great everyday light Green Tea. I am a big fan. Great Price also.

A friend had suggested this due to golden monkey being a favorite of mine and wanting to cut out some of the caffine. I found that it was alright but not up to my favorite green (gunpowder).

This was one of the first green teas I've tried and let's just say the sample did not last long! It's very good. It's got a really nice, subtle flavor and it's something I will surely order again. Goes great with a bit of honey, but then I like honey with most green teas!

I love this stuff. Great tea for the coming fall and winter = more green teas less caffeien

If you want a green tea that isn't as 'grassy' as your average fare, this is a good choice. Nice and sweet with a lovely fragrance to boot. It's my favorite green.

I have a hard time liking green teas--they're usually all so strong, but I bought this one based on the Adagio description, and they were right on the money. It tastes almost like white tea, with a light, nearly sweet flavor. Will definitely be ordering refills.

After having tried flavored green tea i wanted to try my hand at regular green. This tea was alright it was just a little sweet, but that it's about it. I would probably order it again id I'm in the mood for it.

Tastes great but a little to light for my tastes. It doesn't have the grassy taste I hate about greens which I liked. Could have been just a tad stronger.

A fantastic mild green tea. Makes a unique and tasty cup of tea that is similar to a white tea.

The sample I got of White Monkey was pretty good. It's convinced me to indulge further. I just hope the quality of my coming White Monkey will be just as good.

Tastes just like the green tea they usually give you in Japanese restaurants, I know it's not the best, but I happen to like it!

Did not stand out in any way. Despite what the description says, it did not seem 'noticeably sweet.'

This tea is, i guess, overall good. I love the aroma. It has a very very light flavor though unless you use a ton of leaves for a single cup. This one requires some experimentation but I still never managed to brew a cup that I thought was excellent, just good.

Out of the 14 samples I purchased, this was my favorite becasue of its smooth and complex flavor. Great value too.

Probably the best tea for the price. Delicate flavor and won't go bitter if you leave in the water a little over 3 minutes

Light, smooth white tea. Just enough flavor, but not overpowering.

I prefer it iced and mixed it with various herbal teas rather an plain.

I adored the White Monkey. I got a sampler of it along with several others, and ran through in a snap! It's robustly flavored for a white tea, but it still has the fineness of a good white. More forgiving of hard water than most whites I've tried, as well.

great tea, subtle and delicate aroma and taste, would buy again
