Hello communiTEA drinkers,

Today we have White Cucumber!

Vegetal aroma (think cucumber appetizers at a middle eastern restaurant), with a pleasantly dry, green melon finish.

How are you enjoying?

Love this tea. Light and refreshing flavor.

Today was one of the days where the tea brewed perfectly and was just the tea I needed. I wish Adagio wasn’t about to get rid of this tea.

I have had this tea previously as an iced tea and liked it, I felt iced the cucumber is stronger. Today I made it hot and the melon notes seem to be stronger with a subtle cucumber note. I steeped it for 3 minutes at a white tea temp. As it cooled it seemed to get a just bit bitter. I actually really love this tea. It is light and fresh but still has a bit of complexity to it.

I was not looking forward to this one, but was very surprised how much I really did like it.

I don't notice much on the nose. I didn't get much of a cucumber flavor until the tea cooled down. It has quite a bit of tannin which will pucker you up pretty good. I liked it well enough and to steal a phrase from someone else here: "I wouldn't throw it out at a friend's house who served it to me. But I wouldn't go out looking for it either."

I wonder if one could drink these kinds of teas like you would wine after the wine and food had been designed to be complimentary.
