First steep and I instantly got that creamy mouthfeel the description promises, the leaves are so delicate and fluffy in the pouch. Even the third infusion kept that subtle honey-melon sweetness, which is rare for a white tea this light.
Opened the pouch and the aroma of honey-melon filled the kitchen before I even poured the water. The leaves are so fine and delicate, and the brew turns out this creamy, almost buttery softness that lasts through multiple steeps. Exactly the calming cup I look forward to each morning.
The first sip hit that honey-melon note straight away, and the creamy mouthfeel is surprisingly rich for such a delicate leaf. I’ve been brewing it cooler, around 175°F, and it stays sweet without any bitterness, a full 100g pouch of pure comfort.
