Teatulia Organic White Tea

The first tea that I cupped from Teatulia was the white.
White tea is normally very delicate and if not done well it can be best described as being weak and watery. Well, that is not the way that I would describe the Teatulia White Tea.
The silken pyramid bags allow you to see that this is not the swept up dust from the tearoom floor. The tea leaves are attractive and well colored for the type of tea. I found this to be true in all of my samplings.
Teatulia White is smooth and delicate but there is definitely flavor involved. It has a fresh, clean taste with no aftertaste on the tongue. I imagine that if you like to flavor your tea with a little fresh juice or rosewater this would be a good candidate for that.
Smooth and creamy on the tongue, Teatulia white tea is one of the few white teas that I like unflavored. It has a straw colored liquor and a nice aroma.
This is a good one. With the combination of the company ethics and excellent tea you can’t miss. Once your roses start blooming this spring, the addition of a rose petal or two to the cup would be not only beautiful, it would be delicious.

“swept up dust from the tearoom floor” I hope this is NEVER the case. Eek!
Ok, now you’re convincing me have to try it.
Oh Peggy, Ummm…unfortunately it IS the case with some companies. SOMETIMES bagged teas are what can’t be sold elsewhere, if you get my drift.
Hmm, if you know of a company doing that, will you tell me?
Peggy:
from wikipedia:
However, the tea used in tea bags has an industry name – it is called “fannings” or “dust” and is the waste product produced from the sorting of higher quality loose leaf tea
I doubt that if a company goes to the trouble to be ethical in every other way that this is a problem…nice thing about these bags is that you can see the tea..definitely not fannings
