Over the weekend, I steeped up a cup of Adagio’s White Silver Needle tea. This is the first cup of white tea I’ve ever had, so my experience is limited.

I was underwhelmed by this tea. In fact, I thought it tasted exactly like hot water. My husband had a sip, and he said it tasted like what he thinks tea should taste like — light and not overwhelming.

Clearly, we don’t have similar tea tastes– my palate is perhaps not subtle enough for white tea. Regardless, in the future I will probably be using this tea to make iced tea for my husband, since he seems to like it. I won’t be drinking it again.
