Where to start with light teas?

by tjausti » Mar 23rd, '09, 15:24

While Im ordering samples of green (along with a second ingeniutea <sp>) and oolongs samples I figure I might as well save the shipping. any suggestions to get started in white/yellow teas?

Order Info:
earl grey bravo 8oz $12.00

green tea starter set $19.00

oolong #40 sample $5.00
oolong #18 sample $4.00
pouchong sample $2.00

silver needle sample $4.00
snowbud sample $2.00
white symphony sample $2.00
white peony sample $2.00

Total: $52.00

this was my initial thoughts. any suggestions? the only reason I am not just jumping on the sample is the little clause about not getting the same thing you ordered

thanks
Thomas

Well, everyone's tastes are different of course, so take this with a grain of salt. Personally I would get the White Darjeeling as opposed to the Silver Needle. I, personally, like it better.

Also, you might consider a flavored white. My fave is blueberry, but if you like Earl Grey (and we all you do ) then you might also like the Tangerine.

Just some thoughts. But, I think you have a good solid group together to start exploring.

Cheers!

I personally would want to try the White Darjeeling since I have not tried this one yet.

I recommend White Symphony and Silver Needles, both are very good.
