I received this one as a sample and absolutely love it. Very relaxing to sip before bed. Flavor is hard to describe. It's very subtle, like a cross between jasmine and chamomile. Aside from being soothing before bed, I bet it would be nice for an upset stomach as well.
This tea has a very unique flavor! I enjoyed it very much!
Wonderful. Very light with a small hint of floral.
Very light and refreshing with a sweet flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Upon trying this tea again for the third time, I've found some very sweet, slightly fruity nuances I didn't notice before. My advice would be to drink this tea first thing in the morning, before your palate is tainted with any other tea or even your breakfast. Even if you're not a big white tea drinker, like me, you might be pleasantly surprised by the amount of flavor this tea has.
This tea looks so cute with its fuzzy leaves. I love its name and description, too. But although it had a lovely golden color when brewed, it just tasted like hot water to me. I think I need to use a lot more tea leaves, and an even longer brewing time, before I'll be able to taste anything.
Something different, it's light with floral notes but not over powering
Good tea, pleasant floral after-tones. Would be a great option for a summer day.
Light, fresh flavor, and smells lovely. It's perfect with a little bit of sugar. Also tried it was my Sugar in the Raw and it really complimented the flavor profile. Just had it with honey for those that like to use it and it also works quite well.
I liked this tea! It's very light and smooth and unlike most teas I could actually drink this one straight. It's nice with a little drizzle of honey to bring out the sweetness though!
Beautiful and light, great for summer teas with a drop of lemon.
While not my absolute favorite, this tea now ranks high on my list. I shared it with a coworker who insisted she didn't like tea. Her reaction was that is was eally good and soothing.
If you want a white with a darker flavor than usual, this would be a good one. It's got a hint of something almost earthy. I don't prefer that, myself, but if that's what you're looking for this is probably a winner.
I really like this white peony. I love the fact it has many health benefits.
This tea has a very subtle flavor which I prefer. I usually have it with a bit of honey or sugar. Overall it doesn't stand out but is a very nice basic white tea.
I feel that the flavor left a little to be wanted however it might be that I just do not like white tea.
Very light and floral tea. I like the softness and calming feeling of this tea.
One of the lighter white teas I've tried, but very enjoyable nonetheless. I would recommend steeping longer to get the full effect of the flavor.
Subtle, light, not highly caffeinated. Suitable for people with a possible strong reaction on tea.
I really like this tea because it's so light and lacks any kind of bitterness to it. One problem I had is that I use a tea ball to brew and the leaves wouldn't really fit in the tea bal so I had to crush them a bit smaller with a spoon. I know thats probably 'the wrong way' to do it but hey, sometime ou have to work with what you have.
Delicate and light, with gorgeous color. Do use a clear or white cup to drink it out of.
A wonderfully full bodied white tea. Sweet, floral and delicate, but not as much of a floral note as Silver Needle. A new favorite!
I'm not super into flower teas, but for what it is, it's nice!
Simple. Clean. Mild. A great white tea for when I don't want a lot of flavors going on. :)
This has the clean taste and cooling feeling that I'm used to from other white teas, but it's more full-bodied. Slightly sweet, a little bit grassy, and with a taste/smell that suggests peaches if you squint.
It's a nice floral tea, but I prefer green tea to white.
This seemed a bit weak, but I'm probably just not used to white teas yet. Someone with a bit more experience could probably coax lots of flavor out of this.
I start my day with a white tea.This has been my morning tea for a long while now.
A delightful tea. It isn't thrilling, but it has a nice, calming floral flavor with a bit of sugar.
I named a pet of mine (an axolotl) after this tea, actually before ever having tried it, so let's say I had very high hopes! The flavor is light, smooth, all the things a high quality white tea should be. It's lovely for sure, but having it before bed was a big mistake- definitely had a caffeine punch I was unprepared for! That said, this tea would be a lovely start to ones day when you aren't feeling a robust black tea. If you enjoy a timeless white tea like I do, this will be up your alley for sure.
I love the delicate notes of this tea, it is one of the smoothest white teas I've had. It also makes for a great base if you wish to mix it with any other tea. Personally I mix it with the rose petals and find it to be a great mix.
very little flavor clean crisp but not strong at all
I have no idea why I attempted this after spitting out jasmine tea last summer. Maybe I have no taste, who knows, but floral teas are a big no for me. This was a mouth full of white floral perfume.
Amazing. Love this tea so much. It is light but not too light.
Goes good at dinnertime. Compliments most foods and not high in caffeine.
This is the first white tea I've had that wasn't a walmart brand with peach flavouring. I much prefer this! Could be had without sweetening, but I'm a wimp and add a little honey.
A new favorite mild tea, beautiful brewing I wish I could leave it in forever! I know any fortune read from these leaves would be a positive one. I prefer this with orange blossom honey or a local key lime honey.
Not my favorite. It is very light and not much flavor. I would like it to be more crisp. I found that I had to use far too much tea to make it flavorful.
A delicate tea, very nice.. one of my favorites and I have given my free sample packets to guests who want to take some home!
White symphony is pretty much the same thing, plus cheaper.
This has too may twigs and tastes like green tea(I don't know if that's normal).
i don't go for white teas but this was nice to drink when i didn't want caffeine
I agree with previous reviewers that this one is very similar to the white symphony. Both are very subtle.
Very mild flavor, but still absolutely delicious. Nice light flavor.
This is a nice, straight-forward white tea. Nothing really stood out about it to me, but it was nice, and enjoyable.
Earl grey blends were always my favorite until I tried this blend. I received this in an order on a Saturday and after making my first pot, already placed another order for it. This tea was gone by the time I went back to work on Monday. Its light, slightly vegetal, floral, and seems to have a natural sweetness. Fantastic flavor!
Pretty decent tea at a good price! It doesn't look like a typical white tea, more like an herbal. There are more whole leaves then you would expect. Would buy again.
One of my newest favorites. There is just something about this tera that is so different from the rest, but yet still really good.
light but flavorful. Make sure put on lowest temp setting so you don't burn it.
A really delicate, lovely tea. Too bad it's so pricey, but it makes sense.
White peony is an excellent everyday white tea. It's delicate and sweet, though not as flavorful as some of the higher-end white teas that Adagio sells. White peony also re-steeps pretty well for a second cup, an option that I choose in the evenings when I'm watching my caffeine intake. After trying white peony, give snowbud and white symphony a try. Try silver needle when you want a really special white tea.
