"The only thing I could say after first trying this tea was 'WOW.' I was dumbstruck by its intense sweetness, heady fruity flavor, how forgiving it was for how you brewed it and it just gave consistent flavor over and over. Aged white teas are distinctive for their flexibility in brewing styles, which includes decoction by boiling the leaves. Play around and savor this tea. It deserves to be recognized for how truly special it is."
