Essence of French Rose

My Tea Thoughts
September 18, 2007

Oh my gosh! This tea is too amazing for words, almost! Before you even sip it, though it looks brown and plain, it smells like potpourri! When you take a slurp, it tastes like it smells, but with a bit too much bitterness for me. I'm going to get the agave nectar (see my sidebar)....

There. I added one small squirt of agave nectar, and it is so much better! Two thumbs up for this fascinating idea in tea!

Silver Needle

My Tea Thoughts:
July 21, 2007
WOW! It's no wonder almost every tea store carries Silver Needle -- this amazing tea is round and full-bodied. I believe that this is Pure Tea, as white teas are minimally processed. There's an almost toasty flavor to this tea, if you search for it! This is a satisfying, naturally low-caffeine brew that is great any time of the day.

When you first sip this luscious brew, you can only detect the blueberry. But further holding in the mouth reveals the delicate, distinctive flavor of white tea. It's two thumbs up for White Blueberry!

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.
