Miles Q. ★★★★★

First cup this morning had that clean, almost sweet finish you only get from leaves that haven’t been rolled or oxidized. The buds are intact and fluffy, and the sample size is perfect for deciding if it’s your thing. I’m already looking at a larger bag.

Abigail ★★★★★

The sun-drying process really comes through in the taste—it’s delicate and sweet with none of the grassy bite I usually get from white teas. Brewed a small pot and the leaves opened up beautifully, giving a smooth, clean cup that lasted for several infusions.

First sip and I'm already sold on the sun-dried simplicity—no rolling or extra processing really lets the leaf's natural sweetness shine through, and the sample size is perfect for testing the waters before committing to a full tin.
