What: White Tea with Apricot
Where: China
Why Should I Care: Inexpensive White tea is relatively hard to find, organic is even harder. Now, this particular brand mixes with green tea which isn't that uncommon of a practice (I read in an article that dim sum restaurants usually mix in a little black tea to add color and flavor). Plus, apricot is a unique flavor.
Packaging: I would say it's IFWS, but it's in this folded envelope style as opposed to the foil pillow (yes, that is how i'm describing them). Also, the paper used in the sachets is like brown bag paper. I'm pretty sure it's unbleached so that's a plus.
Non-Taste Senses: It's this nice yellow color and has a light, apricot smell.
Taste: Both the tea and apricot flavors can be described as light and refreshing but that doesn't mean that they're weak. I'm also gonna suggest that you lower the steeping temperature too since there's a mixture of green tea in it. It's nice with some sugar and would be refreshing chilled.
Overall: It's pretty hard to screw up white tea, This has a nice fruity flavor with a light tea taste. Is it freaking amazing? No. Is it worth checking out? Yes.
My Rating: Try it! Here's the site.
