Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Submit
Aroma
Lifted notes of honeysuckle, peony blossom with soft grapey undertones.
Appearance
Bright Orange
Taste
Crafted from pure AV2 bushes, a captivating cup of tea offering a harmonious interplay of delectable floral-fruity attributes. From the very first sip, you'll be greeted by the sweet embrace of delicate floral notes reminiscent of honeysuckle and peony blossom, which linger throughout the experience.

As you continue to explore, you'll uncover tropical fruity undertones akin to muskmelon intermingled with soft honeyed accents, adding a layer of depth and a luscious texture to the tea.

And just when you think the journey is complete, the infusion concludes with a hint of sweet-grapey tones, leaving a lasting impression that evokes the essence of Summer Moonlight Whites from this iconic plantation.

Tasty and subtle

When white tea rhymes with tasty. I love it. It reminds me my Darjeeling journey. I can clearly remind the multiple entries to the Castleton gardens.

I love the loose tea and the way I can brew like pour over coffee.

It's a beautiful thing

My new order of Castleton Moonlight Summer White Tea arrives just in time to keep me warm as Fall arrives here. Once again, another delicious, delicate White Tea from Tea box. This is my third order in two years, have also enjoyed Margaret’s Hope Exotic White, Classic Spring Black and Darjeeling Special White. This teas aroma is that of a Fall Garden after the rain, its aromatic taste somewhere between floral and fruity, bit woody with perhaps a hint of plum. Keep up the good work of disrupting the industry and providing good service to your customers.

Sincerely,
Lou de H. from N.Y.C.

GREAT for anytime

This is one of my favorite teas. Good aroma. I like teas that have a hint of citrus or floral without being over powering.

delicate tea

This tea does not have as much of a floral aroma as other white teas. The flavors are subtle, but be careful. If over brewed, it will have a bitter taste. Adjust water temperature carefully. I would recommend this tea. I rate this as an "advanced" tea due to the price and the care you need to brew a good pot, but the results are worth it if you do it right.

Finally. a tea I enjoy!

This tea was light and refreshing. It had an aroma that was enjoyable, and it was not bitter or grassy at all.

Sweetly floral with an orange blossom finish

Very nice white tea. Flowery sweet to start with an orange hint at the finish. The liquor rolls silkily through the mouth. Very subtle aroma. Great blend for reading in the evening.
