Forbidden Fruit | Yunnan White Tea

This is the first proper “Moolight white” I’ve got to try. The cultivar seems similar to what is used in pu erh. But these white pu erhs have characteristics of both white tea and sheng pu erh. It’s pretty good, but I’m spoiled because I’ve tried some that are even better than this. Definitely a solid introduction to this category.

This white tea is awesome. The scent is sweet and the texture is very smooth when you drink it. I would estimate that the flavour is discernable for about 5 cups (arbitrary units -- I don't know how many mL my cup holds lol). Overall, I highly recommend!

This was the first white tea I have tasted from here, and it really impressed me. It is really sweet, but has a little bit of fresh greenness to it, I bought it together with the Mithril cake, and this feels like a little bit more complex version of that. Has a slight sour note, that combined with the sweetness and juicynes and how you just can't stop drinking it, does indeed feels like you are eating a forbidden fruit. 7/10 really good!
