Organic White Peony (Bai MuDan) Tea from TeaVivre
Style: White Peony Tea – Region: Fuding, Fujian, China93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 25th, 2013
The most aromatic white peony I've sampled yet.
Dry leaf looks much lighter and with more downy tips than usual for this type of tea. Aroma of the dry leaf is intensely floral and delicate, with melon-like tones that I normally only encounter in silver needle.
When brewed as recommended, there is only a hint of ...
Organic Pai Mu Tan White Peony from Wegmans
Style: White Peony Tea – Region: China60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 11th, 2013
This tea is pretty good. It turned out really light-colored when I first brewed it, compared to other white peony teas. It also took a long time. It's pretty flavorful - it has a nice sweet flavor, but it doesn't have the same intensity to it as the Prince of Peace tea that I always drink. I don't like it as much. I ad...

Organic Silver Needle White Tea (Bai Hao Yin Zhen) from TeaVivre
Style: Silver Needle – Region: Fujian, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 1st, 2013
This tea was wonderful as a complete, sensual experience. The leaves are light and elegantly pointed, covered in fuzzy silver-white hairs. They didn't smell like much when it was dry, straight out of the package. It was a bit nutty and a bit floral, maybe. But once I had brewed them the leaves gave off a completely une...

White Peony (Bai Mu Dan) from Two Leaves and a Bud
Style: White Peony Tea – Region: Fujian, China37 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Nov. 24th, 2012
I don't like this tea as much as the white peony that I usually drink (Prince of Peace) because it tastes greener, and I don't like green tea. It's also more expensive. I added cream and sugar.

White Tea from Ten Ren Tea
Style: White Tea – Region: Fujian, China63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 3rd, 2012
Normally I don't have tea with my breakfast, but I decided to try it out with a cup of Ten Ren White Tea this morning. It had a mild and smooth taste, with only a slight hint of bitterness after drinking. While I normally prefer water I juice in the morning, I thought this tea was refreshing and would have it with bre...

White Pearl from Simpson & Vail
Style: White Tea – Region: Fujian, China67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jun. 27th, 2012
Smallish pearls unfurl to olive-colored leaf with lots of tip. Tea seems much more oxidized than normal for a tippy white tea.
I did not like the steeping recommendations; the cup came out quite bland when steeped this way, but this is always true for me of delicate white teas, like silver needle and others. I fo...
Pai Mu Tan from Novus Tea
Style: White Peony Tea – Region: China77 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 6th, 2012
This tea had a light, slightly floral, aroma and a nice light taste to accompany it. Overall I thought this tea was refreshing and would drink it again.

Snow Leopard® from Peet's Coffee and Tea (Peets)
Style: White Tea – Region: Fujian, China60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 22nd, 2012
Snow Leopard is a white tea though its aroma and flavor seem very close to green tea.
The predominant flavor is one of light grassiness while the taste on the back of the tongue and the finish have a pleasing but very subtle fruitiness.
Bai Mu Dan from Little Red Cup
Style: White Peony Tea – Region: Wuyuan, Jiangxi, China97 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
May. 10th, 2012
I love white tea. I've had countless varieties. Bai mudan has never been my favorite. In my experience, it never matched up to bai hao yinzhen. This particular bai mudan compltely revolutionized my view.
The taste is just as pure as any yinzhen, but much sweeter. You won't need sugar, honey, or even a stevia leaf fo...
Tanzanian Silver Needle from Teas Etc
Style: Silver Needle – Region: Tanzania73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 23rd, 2012
I was really interested to try a silver needle tea produced in Tanzania, and I am glad I tried it as it was quite interesting tasting as well.
Fairly light in color, but full-bodied flavor. I like this tea significantly more than most Chinese examples of silver needle that I've tried, which tend to be too mild for ...
White Peony (Bai Mu Dan) from Two Leaves and a Bud
Style: White Peony Tea – Region: Fujian, China73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 17th, 2012
I really enjoyed the floral scent of this tea and its taste. Its flavor was rich, smooth, and full, with an imperceptible aftertaste. It brewed a dark-amber color. This is one of the better teas I've tried from Two Leaves and Bud and I will definitely be drinking it again!

2009 Shou Mei (Sow Mee or Longevity Brow) from Life in Teacup
Style: Shou Mei White Tea – Region: Fujian, China90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 12th, 2012
I find white teas tend to darken with age, and this one is darker than current-year samples of shou mei I have tried in the past, but it still had quite a lot of green leaf.
This was one tea that I really had to brew before I noticed its quality...the dry leaf looks and smells relatively unremarkable, but upon brewi...
White Tea from Ten Ren Tea
Style: White Tea – Region: Fujian, China63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 4th, 2012
The description of Ten Ren's white tea in tea bags is pretty accurate. The taste is mild and a bit earthy, and actually not so different from their wulong teas. The overall effect of the tea is smooth and straightforward, but without many characteristics of Bai Mudan, Shoumei, or other white teas, really. My initial im...

Premium Peony White Tea (100% Organic) from Prince of Peace
Style: White Peony Tea – Region: Fujian, China90 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 7th, 2012
I really like this tea. I like dark and strong white teas. I didn't think much of it at first, but I started drinking it all the time because it's convenient. It doesn't take long to get really strong, and it's not bitter at all, which I like. Now it has grown on me, and I never get tired of it. I drink it with cream a...

White Whisper Tea from Royal Tea of Kenya

Jan. 29th, 2012
I wasn't sure what to expect as this was the first white tea that I've sampled, but I was definitely satisfied!
The first time that it was brewed it had a mild taste and a strong scent. After being brewed a second time, with the same leaves, the tea had a stronger taste but was less aromatic. I enjoyed this becaus...

White Peony (Pai Mu Tan) from Adagio Teas
Style: White Peony Tea – Region: Fujian, China83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 29th, 2011
I'm very naive when it comes to white teas and prefer stronger blends myself. Even I can clearly tell this is a quality tea, very smooth and light 'clean' taste with a tad touch of grassiness. Sugar would likely kill it as it's naturally sweet on its own. Uplifting and refreshing, just not something I'd drink normally ...

Kenya Silverback White from Imperial Tea Garden
Style: Silver Needle – Region: Kenya83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 7th, 2011
Leaf looks like a silver needle white tea with leaves on the smallish side, but with a much deeper golden yellow color.
Brewed, the aroma is very unlike other silver needle teas, and much stronger. Aroma is predominately toasty, nutty and woody, strongly reminiscent of hojicha, especially roasted kukicha, with a to...
White Whisper Tea from Royal Tea of Kenya
Style: Silver Needle – Region: Kenya67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 11th, 2011
This was the first white tea I have sampled not only from Kenya, but from any African country. I was eager to try it, and I was not disappointed.
The dry leaf of this tea looks a lot like silver needle white teas, consisting exclusively out of buds / tips. However, the brewed cup was darker in color, and the flavo...
Pure White Tea from Salada
Style: White Tea – Region: ?????40 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 7th, 2011
Very affordable for a white tea.
Aroma is slightly herbaceous, with a suggestion of caramel, coffee grounds, and a slight smokiness. Overall character is warm and rich.
Too much astringency and bitterness for my tastes; I wonder however if I brewed it with water that was too hot. I only brewed this tea once.

Decaf White Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: White Tea – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 2nd, 2011
I got this at Trader Joe's last month. It's relatively weak so you'll need two bags in an 8-ounce cup and steep it for four-to-five minutes. Tastes a bit metallic but has a post-infusion aroma that is very pleasant. This tea is nothing special so I use it for blending. Good price, though!

Shoumei White Tea from Foojoy
Style: Shou Mei White Tea – Region: China67 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 8th, 2011
This Foojoy Shoumei has similar color to their Bai Mudan. The aroma is milder in the Shoumei, and has a hint of fruit. The taste of the Shoumei is also milder than that of their Bai Mudan, but very smooth and with a hint of sweetness. Overall, though, these teas are very similar. This is perhaps the milder and slightly...

Peony White Needle from Imperial Tea Garden
Style: Silver Needle – Region: China53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Sep. 27th, 2011
I'm not a big fan of the silver needle style of tea, but I am beginning to distinguish between different ones to a degree.
From looking at the leaf, this is unambiguously a silver needle tea, but interestingly, the aroma of the brewed tea is much more like white peony tea. The appearance of the leaf, both dry and b...
2 Doves Silver Needle from Imperial Tea Garden
Style: Silver Needle – Region: China50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Sep. 27th, 2011
I want to preface this review by saying that I tend not to be a huge fan of silver needle tea in general; I prefer darker, more full-bodied white teas. I tend to always think that silver needle is overpriced.
Silvery-white leaves brew a darkish colored cup, especially dark for a silver needle. Used leaves show a p...
