Readily Available White Tea

We recently found a Teatulia White Tea on a trip to Wegmans.

This tea is marketed as an organic single garden tea, and describes itself as "abundant white flowers and peach blossoms wih a nectarine connotation." The peach and nectarine components are faint, and this tea almost seems more green than white. It's a bit on the grassy side and not particularly fruity. It was not expensive, so that leads me to believe it doesn't have much true white tea in it.

The tea is packaged in tea pyramids with an abundant tablespoon of good sized pieces. However, the leaves look more green than white or silver, with only a few silver tips in each portion. The pyramid I opened did not appear to have peach blossoms or bits included.

It produces a smooth cup with a slightly bitter finish. Be careful not to overheat the water - you want to catch it before it starts to boil. The instructions say you can brew it twice, and I did so without any noticeable reduction in flavor.

You can feel good about purchasing this tea, as the canister says it helps "provide a bright future for the Bangladeshi families who help produce it." The packaging is minimal and made with 100% compostable and recyclable materials. However, if you are looking for a fruity, light white tea, this may not fit the bill. I think I'll try another flavor next time.
