白牡丹

The smooth, vegetal aroma is exactly what I was hoping for—it’s subtle but really comes through in the cup. Each steep stays flowery without turning bitter, which makes this an easy daily go-to for white tea lovers.

I brewed this for a relaxed afternoon and the floral aroma filled the kitchen right away, exactly the kind of flowery cup I was hoping for. The smooth, vegetal finish is so clean it doesn’t need any sweetener, which is rare for me to say. Definitely keeping this one on my shelf.

The flowery notes come through nicely if you don't oversteep it — about two minutes is my sweet spot. Only gripe is the leaves are so light they float, so I have to stir them down. Still a really delicate cup for the price.
