★★★★★

A highly caffinated white tea that works well on its own in addition to being a nice tea to blend with matcha. Refreshing and gentle on the stomach.

This is one of my favorite white teas! I was looking for a good basic white tea and this is it :) The flavor is definitely present but light and refreshing or comforting, depending on my mood. I really enjoyed it in the summer when I wanted good flavor but nothing heavy. I drank it hot (which is how I drink almost all tea) but I would imagine that this would be good iced as well. It's good for a couple of steeps if not brewed too long.

Beautiful delicate flavor. Can steep twice and it's still very nice.

This is a wonderful tea. Floral and sweet, it lingers on the tongue but has a clean finish. Highly recommended for those of us under regular stress! :)

This used to be my daily white tea. It is very good, so you should try it! I've decided on Silver Needle for my daily white for now.

Nice, simple white tea. Subtle but soothing flavor with a moderate amount of caffeine.

I was a little worried when I bought this. The last time I bought white tea(pai mu dan) it must have been what was last of their stock. It wasnt what the picture showed. This stuff (white symphony) is awesome!! Buds with white hair you can see and a great floral delicate taste! I'm very happy with white symphony I will buy it again!!

★★★☆☆

A little bland, not sure if I steeped it long enough.

★★★★★

I like to blend this tea with other teas as well as drinking it alone.

★★★☆☆

I found this tea to be somewhat bland in comparison to green and black teas. It definitely has a very light, almost floral taste, but was not strong enough for me.

★★★★☆

I enjoy the white teas for their gentle flavor white symphony is no different with light floral undertones. A touch of honey blends well and makes this a nice after noon tea to relax with.

★★★★☆

Godd flavor . Light tasting. No after taste. Will but again.

★★★★☆

As with Snowbud, this blend is good on it's own, but will probably use it to add depth to other blends.

★★★★★

this is my first unflavored white tea. I like it, of course it's not very strong, but it keeps me pouring cup after cup. It's great to mix with jasmine flavors.

★★★★☆

A great white tea. It has a clean and fresh taste and smell, but it can be a little weak at times.

★★★★★

I gave it 5 stars because at this price you won't find a better white tea. Maybe as good but that's about it. If you like white tea you know what you're looking for and this will fit the bill. I like subtle teas nevertheless I brew this a tad warmer-190? than is typical and that makes it a bit stronger. That's just the way I like it.

★★★★☆

Love the dark Amber color, this is another delicate and smooth tea..

★★★☆☆

A light taste that I don't necessarily prefer, but still ok.

★★★☆☆

Steeped a long time to get any flavor. I need to stick with the stronger variety teas.

★★★★★

Precious, clear and crisp in color and mouth-appeal. Love the fruity-floral flavor. this is a real charmer

★★★★★

I really liked this tea. It's a bit stronger than my favorite white tea-- white peony, but you really can't go wrong with this one if you like white teas.

★★★☆☆

this tea tastes just like silver needle. meaning it taste like warm water. no flavor. but I drink it with honey for the benefits it provides. it does have more white buds in it so more antioxidant if that's what you looking for.

★★★★★

This tea has a classic white tea flavor, and it's strong enough to really enjoy it. It's not grassy or smoky like green teas and it's definitely not bitter like black teas. Unlike most white teas the flavor really stands out and can undergo second steepings maintaining its characteristics. It has subtle sweet notes towards the end reminiscent of honeysuckle and perhaps melon.

★★★★★

A very nice simple, sweet, calm cup of white tea. Balanced and light. Really enjoying this one!

★★★★★

Absolutely delicious white tea. A little sweet, pretty light, but still a very satisfying flavor that makes it a favorite.

★★★★★

What can I say, this tea smells, tastes delicious. A must try!!!

Great on it's own no sweetner needed. Honeysuckle and citrus notes in this delicate tea.

★★★★☆

We love white teas and this is on our regular rotation of flavors.

★★★★☆

this tea is good. i prefer the white peony this tea has a very mild after taste.

★★★★☆

Light, sweet, and crisp. Definite sweet melon flavor.

★★★★★

White Symphony is my personal favorite on Adagio. It can be light or a little stronger depending on the brew time, but it always releases a nice slightly sweet flavor that has me buying this tea continuously on a monthly basis.

★★★★★

A very light, sweet tea. It has a very gentle flavor and a lovely sweet smell.

★★★★★

I love the large whole leaf format, though it takes a lot more tsp to make a cup. The flavor is light and mild and very clean. Lovely in the afternoon.

★★★☆☆

This tea isn't doing much for me. Kind of a generic white-ish tea. Someone else mentioned it was vegetal to them - not a description I would have come up with on my own, but I can get it now that it's been pointed out.

★★★★★

Perfect white tea for when I want some sweet but no to sweet. Haven't gotten the melon taste flavor yet but I do agree that there is some subtle fruit in there.

★★★★★

I keep coming back for this one. I try other whites, but this one is hard to beat.

★★★★★

I use the leaves to steep a second time, and it's just as good as the first. Delicate and sweet and light but still very flavorful. I love this tea.

★★★★★

Flavor a bit stronger than silver needle, but equally as delicious. Can get several cusps from one tea bag.

★★★★★

White symphony is a nice breakfast treat. Husband enjoys it as an afternoon break tea.

★★★★★

I really enjoyed this one. It has similar characteristics to white peony but more refined. It has a really nice ratio of buds to leaves, making for a more complex flavour.

★★★★★

I love this tea mixed with a tiny bit of jasmine. It makes the perfect tea to accompany Chinese food, and is very reminiscent of what is served in nice Chinese restaurants.

★★★★★

I'm new to whites, and this is making me fall in love with them. I'm now telling friends about it.

★★★★☆

The flavor is smooth and earthy. Pleasant aftertaste.

★★★★★

White tea is a rare treat for me. So when I decided to try this, it was such a fantastic cup that I knew I would enjoy. The smoky taste of the tea compliments the smooth texture so well. Anyone who enjoys white tea will love this tea combination.

★★★★★

I was surprised at the amount of flavor that you can get from this tea. It is very subtle and delicious. Has a shorter breweing time so be sure to not oversteep.
