I'll start by saying I'm new to white teas, so I do not know exactly what a typical white tastes like. But the large leaves have a beautiful honey aroma that also came through after steeping. I could smell another slightly woody/nutty flavor, but couldn't identify it until I read the package "Pure White Tea with accents of toasted chestnut and honey". Oh of course, it's chestnut! There was also a light vegetal scent.The flavor is very similar to the aroma- a smooth honey taste, along with toasty chestnut, with a light vegetal aftertaste. Almost like green tea, but lighter and sweeter. It is soothing and refreshing at the same time.
