Emperor's White Tea

My Tea Thoughts:
May 16, 2007
Today I tried Emperor's White Tea by The Republic of Tea. It was my very first white tea. WOW! This tea is stunningly sumptuous, with mellow, complex flavor notes, and an almost minty aftertaste.

I am very impressed with your blog. It is very colorful and you are a very gifted writer. I cannot comment on any teas, as I would most likely have this to say about any tea that i have tasted.

May 16, 2007 Today I tasted some lipton iced tea. It was brown, but it still tasted yucky like all of the teas that I have tasted. Perhaps I should change my ocupation to a cola taster. I much prefer cola to the organic wholesomeness of various teas. I do respect that people are different and have different tastes. Please feel free to have my portion of tea whenever it is served at dinner.

In short, Lipton Iced tea gets a raving YUCK from me.

Ryan 242 pool guy,
I must explain the HUGE difference between Lipton tea and quality tea. Take coffee. If you had only tasted store brand coffee, you might not be big on it. But you might adore Starbucks! In the same way, some common teas (I don't know if this applies to Lipton) are actually made from tea dust! So if you want to try quality tea, head to www.adagio.com. Try a "sampler" of whatever kind - black, green or white - appeals to you! But if you're not a tea person, I understand.

Hey CoolCat! I'm having a cup of Emperor's White Tea right now. It is very good. I'd say mellow is a good way to describe this tea. It would be good for an evening tea as the flavor is very refreshing with a soft aftertaste. Thanks for putting this great blog up, I really like it.
