There was only enough left in the box for one serving of this, and I took it. I’m greedy on occasion. Sorry.
This tea is really different than any white I’ve ever had. It’s much more like a darjeeling black to me than a white. It’s the white tea for the black tea drinker.
It’s much closer to malty, less delicate than most whites are. It didn’t have that effervescence that a lot of whites have. It was pretty complex, which is one of the things I like about whites.
Stacy did tell me this was her White Rhino tea. I see that reading the description after the fact (all I looked at was recommended brewing directions) that this is indeed described as the white for black tea lovers. I guess I got something right.
Slightly fruity aroma. Tastes slightly sweet. Good fruity taste and finish. I wish I could be more specific. It made me think of apples and pears, but tasted like neither. The more I drank this the more I liked it. I wish there were more.
Thanks to Stacy at Butiki Tea for putting this box together

Wow, that seems really unexpected for a white tea. Sounds interestingly delicious!
Butiki does sell a really good Kenyan White- White Rhino! it is really good
From the Butiki TTB2.
Thought a white tea from Kenya would interesting to try. I don’t drink white tea often enough. The dry leaf is pretty – slightly twisted, hairy, many leaves golden amongst a few dark brown – and has the aroma of lemons. The liquor is pale, light in flavor, medium-bodied, and sweet.
I used a half a teaspoon (wish I could somehow input that). No rating because of my inexperience, but I do think it tastes alright.
Flavors: Lemon Zest
