Alas another discontinued brew from Teavana, but what else is new? If only they kept a more extensive catalog like other tea vendors. This white tea is surprisingly dark, with orchid notes reminiscent of a more expensive oolong, but without the grassy aftertaste that often accompanies it. It is much darker than any other white tea I have tried, so I'm not sure how to classify it. Teavana recommends a hot 195 degree brewing temperature, so I am beginning to suspect it has more in common with a fine black tea. I will continue searching for an alternative from other companies, since I found its orchid and honey notes irresistible.
