I really need to spend a little more time with white tea because I do love it. White tea feels so "clean" and crisp and with it's mild caffeine level, I can tolerate it a little later in the day.
I loved opening this Madagascar Coconut White Tea from Maya Tea. It's so exciting seeing huge, full tea leaves! It definitely tells me that I'm getting a high quality tea.
I had to guess on my measurements...it's hard to fit these full leaves into a teaspoon for measuring! The package recommends 2 teaspoons and a brewing temperature up to 160 degrees for 2 minutes. As expected, the steeped liqueur was a pale yellow.
The vanilla and coconut flavors were apparent, but mild. The tea was also relatively mild, but still a nice, brisk white tea flavor. It has a sort of creamy vanilla flavor with the coconut being more of an essence. I do feel like this could be steeped at around 175 degrees for a bit more flavor. All in all, it was still a good white tea experience! I'll definitely be having this again and adjusting my temp and time to achieve my perfect cuppa.
