Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Submit
Aroma
Bright, revealing notes of Asiatic lily, ripe muskmelon, and a touch of fresh spring greens
Appearance
Champagne
Taste
A rare expression of spring, this Moonlight White offers a silken, airy cup that unfolds with grace.

Delicate floral layers — lilies and peonies — bloom alongside soft tropical notes, lending a gentle sweetness to the palate. Mid-sip brings out luscious muskmelon, followed by fleeting hints of dewy greens. The finish is clean and lightly sweet, with a soft echo of grapes that lingers on your palate.

For an equally enjoyable second steep, infuse for 4 minutes — or serve over ice for a refreshing twist.

Excellent enjoyable tea!

A very fine tea, very floral, and has perhaps some characteristics of a Phoenix Bird oolong. It doesn't look like a Chinese silver needle white tea, but a bit more like a Bai Mu Dan. I got good results from steeping at 195 F. HIghly recommended. Also very well documented, but would prefer an even larger ziploc bag to move the tea into after opening.

What a great tea. A true taste of white tea. Very flowery, light and pleasure to drink. Highly recommended white tea. I have been buying tea from many other sources but TEABOX is my new favorite! Wonderful tea.

After you drink this tea, you're mouth will be full of flowers.

This tea is full of tropical fruit notes and sweet floral notes. It was winter, so I boiled it with warm water, and the room was filled with the sweet and fragrant aroma of tea. I think it is the result of the hard work of the Teabox masters.

Delightful surprise of great taste.

Delightful surprise of great taste; floral and fruit. Flavorful. I knew from the aroma of the dry leaves it was going to be good and it was. Easy to brew, forgiving, an easy happy pleasure. Gives a nice energized calm.
