A delightfully light flavor perfect for your afternoon tea time, or for just relaxing with a cup of tea.
This was a very interesting experience for me. I ve always almost liked darjeeling teas. I love the darjeeling flavor, but the black tea is too bitter. As a white, I can finally enjoy it without needing a mound of sugar!
The dry tea has a bright fruity, mineral flavor as with other Darjeelings, but a bit more subdued. The liquor is a very light blonde with a slight flowery vanilla scent. The flavor is very simple with faintly sweet and oaky notes. This is a very light tea, easily overpowered by anything else, so it's best enjoyed on its own. That said, this is a very pleasant afternoon tea for any occasion.
Update: I went for a second and it was stronger than the first. A third was just as strong as the first. This tea just keeps on giving.
Love it! A really nice white tea with just light floral notes
While not my absolute favorite, this is solid tea that I very much enjoy as part of my regular rotation. Drinking it is like being supported by a stranger during a rough time; every time I drink it, I'm surprised by how much better I feel afterwards.
This tea has a very pleasant and slightly smoky bite to it, a shade above most plain white teas.
I'm an instant fan. This is mild and well balanced. No hint of bitterness. I drink my tea straight-up only rarely. This one I love just naked. My other favorites are White Monkey tea and Sleeping Dragon.
This was my first venture into Darjeeling and I was not disappointed. I very delicate tea with just a hint of green earth tones. I very much enjoyed the tea and would buy this again.
Oh is this one a delight! That’s the word. It is a gentle, sweet, just faintly nutty tea. And the name is so wonderful too.
I love all white teas, and this particular white Darjeeling is light and delightful. It's a delicate tasting tea, and I love it served hot regardless of the season.
Too subtle taste for me, has a smooth finish at the end
I love it ! Earthy tones . It’s like a chai but mild version .
Amazing!!! You must try this tea. Lite and smooth, but still the DARJEELING taste comes thru. A new 'love' for me!!
Earthier and more herbal than a white silver needle, but hits some of the same notes.
Aromas of must and wintergreen in the packet. Brews a pale straw color, slightly hazy. Aroma reminds me of roasted overripe broccoli, with a slight burnt plastic element. Flavor is like white tea with a return of the wintergreen. Caffeine seems stronger than expected. 2.5 stars
I love Darjeeling teas! It's not as strong as my favorite, Oooooh Darjeeling. But I still love this tea!
A very delicate tea, I enjoyed it and I feel it’s a nice, neutral, and lightly fruity tea.
One of my favorites! This is a go to for me in the late morning or early afternoon.
This won our family's blind taste test for white teas, even beating out silver needle. It has a little stronger flavor than the other white teas.
Mildly astringent with an excellent aroma. Smells of citrus and wildflower honey, with surprising depth of flavor and lingering sweetness.
This is one of my new favorite teas. It is light, yes, but it also has a natural sweetness to it that is wonderful.
This tea is amazing! I don't have a huge amount of experience with white teas but this is incredible. It tastes like honey and is somehow creamy, with a pleasant floral aftertaste. Definitely worth the price, I recently ordered the 8oz.
It was ok...not my favorite. Will not buy again as there are others I like alot better. Seemed kind of a bland tea for my tastes
This white tea is more subtle in flavor than most of the others I've tried that can be a bit 'herbally' sharp. This is my new favorite white tea. I find it complex and interesting.
My first White Darjeeling cup was brewed for 3 minutes at the recommended temperature, 195°F. It was dry, astringent, and carried a metallic flourish indicative of scalded tea. Since then, I've gauged out my personal optimal temperature to hover around 180°F—two brews will bless me with a light, settling cup of nectar perfect for a lazy afternoon, preferably with an equally rich novel to accompany me. I notice silky sweet undertones through layers of complexity in this tea.
Love this tea! Very light. My wife especially loves it.
I love the taste of the white tea. The taste is robust and I didn't think it would be. My all time favourite. I try drinking at least on glass per day.
Classic darjeeling earthiness with just a general lightness and not as much bitterness. A fun one to try but not necessarily my style
got this as a sample - love it. I make it as a ice tea.
This is a pleasant tea, but not my favorite. Because darjeeling is already light and this is a white tea, it does not have enough flavor for me.
this is great! when you want white tea with extra bite.
Very surprising at first taste. Very mild hints of darjeeling. I enjoyed drinking this.
wow what a great tea i never had a white darjeeling before but i will definitely buying it again .
i really enjoyed the citrus flavor
Tried a few white tea samples, including silver needle, and this one was the best of them. Note: I am not crazy into white tea so 4 stars is really saying something. It is wonderful on the nose and has a smoother and softer taste compared to the black darjeeling tea I am accustomed too.
If you brew this for less time and lower temperature then honey and fruity notes are present. I won’t recommend brewing it like a usual darjeeling black tea if you prefer to have a smoother taste.
Very nice !! I didn’t know what to expect ‘cause I’m new in the Darjeeling world and I never even heard of “white” Darjeeling. I’m really surprised !
This is a good tea for those who like the aroma of a darjeeling but find the black type a bit too overpowering. You get the same darjeeling 'essence,' but with the lighter, sweeter quality of a white.
A lovely white tea, but SO mild I give it 4 stars out of 5.
Lovely!!! It has complex flavors that come out with every brew, brewed gong fu style
Brewing instructions may have been too hot and long leading to a somewhat bitter tea. I would dial both back next time. Otherwise, a good underlying sweet white tea flavor.
I love Darjeeling and white teas. This tea is very good, and blends both nicely.
This tea has both aspects of a white and black tea which makes it nice.
Mild white tea. It is a great tea to drink plain. I think flavors and sweeteners would definitely cause you to loose the delicate flavor. (I usually don’t sweeten my teas though).
Light, “dry” mouth feel, a little astringent even w lower temps. Pleasant.
Soft and sweet. The first steep was good, but I think I liked it better on the second steep.
This was ok. I like white teas but this tasted mostly like grass to me and I was not a fan.
I love black Darjeeling tea, but I have never tried white Darjeeling before ans was pleasantly surprised by its fresh taste.
I like this better than the standard black Darjeeling. It has all the good flavor without being so strong.
This was a wonderfully subtle and light way to end my afternoon. Definite floral notes to this Darjeeling, and I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to get into white teas!!
A nice light tea. It was a refreshing change from some of the heavier flavors I've been drinking lately.
