White tea of the early afternoon. I’m having a ball with these white tea samples! This one confused me dearly because it says white tea yet is says wu-long which I know is another way of spelling oolong…mind blown. I wasn’t quite sure what to do with it so I brewed it like I do any other white teas and I was very much impressed.
The dry leaves are dark brown and slightly curled with some fuzzy white curled leaves mixed in and smelled of apricot and stones. The wet leaves smell more earthy with hay notes…now I’m getting more confused. Taste…o_O sweet hay notes, sweet apricot notes, stone/mineral notes, a very smooth, creamy texture, like butter, yet it remains light. Is this a white tea or an oolong…I get notes from both types.
This tea is as confusing to me as it is delicious.

I keep thinking I need to get more of this!
I intend to get more next time I order from them simply because of how different this tea is…in a good way of course!
Yes, 9I totally agree!
Thanks for all the reviews Invader Zim. Just wanted to clear up the confusion, this tea comes from the White Tea Plant Varietals that we grow on our farm (Da Bai and Da Hao), but it is processed like a Wu-Long (Oolong) tea.
This sounds delicious.
