Whenever we have someone who is new in tea, asking for white tea recommendations, this is the tea we always recommend first. This white tea might not as famous as a Silver Needle White Tea, but for a fraction of its price, the flavor and value of this tea often surpass the former.

It's true that Silver Needle White Tea might be the most popular white tea among tea drinkers, but Silver Needle tends to taste a little too mild for most people. This white tea is like drinking a refreshing sweet plum juice. The stronger you brew the tea, the better the flavor becomes. It never gets bitter or astringent.

Great Tea

I am thoroughly enjoying this tea. My first time using a tea cake. It is as stated a high quality fermented white tea perfect for the novice.

Bitter sweet

Absolutely love the tea, I just wish it was easier to grind up.
I ordered the same tea from another place prior to this and the product came in a tall glass holder and the tea cakes were smaller (about 15 in total). Each was very strong so every day I would break the tea cake in half and boil that half (still super strong). This tea tastes exactly the same, I’m just not too fond of the size and how it comes shipped. It’s really messy to break a part since it comes as one single cake.
Still love it, just wish it came packaged differently.
