Dart's Thoughts
This is my favorite tea that we release every year and is the reason that I fell in love with white tea. I didn't even know that there was white tea in Yunnan until I moved back to the US.
For me it is very hard to separate the idea of white tea from Fuding and year after year I think white tea from Fuding even at this picking grade should be more expensive.
I recently purchased an On the Ground teapot and received 1 tea ball of each tea.
I tried brewing these Sweet Sipping White in a a 100ml gaiwan.
I used 185F water.
First brew was 1 minute. I thought that would be enough time to open up the teaball. Not the case…
Second brew was 45 seconds and still not breaking down .
Third & fourth still firm and maybe half way of breaking apart.
Can you please post a video on how to brew these teaballs? I am having a very difficult time .
I want to taste these teas the way they are supposed to be enjoyed.
Thanks
I love tea. I’m pretty novice, but I love tea, and I love trying new things. On a whim, I ordered a whole tea cake, and my first full tea cake at that! I think sweet sippin is a perfect name. For me, I felt like this tea was like drinking warm coconut water. Which was such a great experience, and a great late night tea. I’m tempted to order another!
If you are looking for a light flavored, yet fruitful tea, this is your safe bet. The tea has wonderful fruity and floral nuances throughout each brew. A great tea to enjoy after a long day at work or to relax on the weekend. I find the cha qi of the tea to be subtle and calming. This is my go to tea when I want a pleasant way to wind down and take a breath.
I wasn’t expecting a top-tier white tea at this price, but I was hoping for at least some complexity. Unfortunately, this tea is incredibly bland and one-dimensional. The flavor is so mild that it’s almost like drinking slightly bitter hot water, lacking most of the floral, honeyed, or fruity notes that make white tea enjoyable. I tried adjusting steeping times and temperatures, but nothing brought out any real depth. That said, at $20 for 100g, I suppose I got what I paid for. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option and don’t mind a very subtle tea, this might work for you, but I personally won’t be repurchasing.
I really enjoyed this white from the sampler flight it’s my favorite and it got me tea drunk soo fast will definitely be purchasing it
