I let some of my coworkers try the Honeydew from Teas Etc and they both loved it.

MilitiaJim also liked it and tried to run off to work with it, I made him bring it home.

I think it's a winner

Tea Information:
Tea: Honeydew
Type: White Tea

Description: New to our lineup, Honeydew has quickly gained attention from white tea enthusiasts in and out of the office. The soft melon flavor lingers on the palate, is perfectly balanced and not to sweet.
Ingredients: Chinese white tea and flavor

Steep Information:
Amount: 3 tsp
Additives: none
Water: 2 zarafina cups filtered water

Dry Leaf Smell: like honeydew milk boba tea
Steeped Tea Smell: vegetal, like honeydew milk boba tea, flowery

I should try a mild steep and / or less leaf next time.

The tea came in a black plastic sealed bag inside the tin. When I dumped it into the tin I noticed a pollen like fluffy residue in the bag. I wonder if this is a white tea attribute?

Post-Steep Additives: none, but was thinking about some sugar

Resteep: just as strong as the first steep

Rating: 3/4 leaves


Leaf system:
1=Bleh! not again if it were free

4=A staple in our cupboard from now on, I will purchase and keep purchasing
