Brewed 5g to 100ml of water @ 100°c for 25 seconds, the wet leaves smelled sweet like a chocolate bar filled with toffee and nuts. Wet leaf was very different with mostly vegetal notes (not steamed or stewed but fresh) and hints of roasted nut. The brew itself was delicious, with the predominant note being exceptionally nutty, in particular like Almonds, honestly tasted like I'd just been chewing on a handful of plain Almonds. Other notes included a subtle hint of vanilla and a floral sweetness on the tail end. A wonderfully delicious tea🍵 .
Such an amazing white tea! So unique compared to other I've had before. The flavor notes and fragrance are incredibly unique. I was shocked trying it for the first time, it really has a soft mouth feel and vanilla notes to it. Ive never had a Chinese tea resemble vanilla in such a way before. Obviously not in an artifical way at all, just a flavor note you can actually pick up if you search for it. Really an incredible white tea, my favorite 5 year aged white tea Ive ever had.
"Man, this 2020 Bai Mudan White Tea from My Tea Connection is seriously delicious! I tried it for the first time, and I'm already hyped for another cup tomorrow. The flavor is extraordinary, and I love the smooth texture. You can tell they took great care of the leaves—the coloration was pretty fire and just looked cool! It just feels so lively when you drink it! If you haven't tried this one, you totally should. Go check out My Tea Connection!"
Really tasty tea! Dry leaves have a sweet nutty smell that makes me think about Almond Joy candy. Does very well cold brewed, sweet and it is very creamy tasting. I also like to brew it grandpa style, where it retains the Almond Joy smell as a taste.
Update to my previous review, steeped the Tea at 85-90°c and it elevated the Tea greatly, as such I thought it was worth mentioning, brilliant Tea, definitely recommend experimenting with the temp as honestly whilst both brews were delicious they were also quite different, with the lower temperature bringing out more sweet and creamy notes with the nuttyness dialed down a notch. Honestly great either way 😎👌
