Silver Yin Zhen Pearls White Tea

I really wanted to like this tea. I tried it several times, but it is so strongly "vegetal" in taste, that the only way I can drink it now is by mixing it with another tea. It isn't bad when mixed with Dragonwell, but I would certainly not purchase it again.

I prefer teas that are fruity, floral or herbal. This is the first 'straight' tea that I've truly enjoyed. It simply makes me feel good and refreshed. I do add rock sugar for sweetening. And honestly, I just put the pearls in the bottom of a glass mug, add the hot water and sweetener, watch it unfurl and enjoy. Really love this tea.

This is a smooth tasting white tea with a hint of honey that draws you in immediately for another sip. The aroma is wonderfully sweet, then the flavor has vegetal notes that are mellow and delicious. For a green tea choice, I love Jasmine Pearls as a great way to start the morning, so I am glad to now have a comparable morning white tea experience from Teavana. This one is definitely worth the price for me and I hope Teavana keeps producing it because I see this as becoming a regular among my daily choices.

This is the most delicious white tea I've ever had. It's smooth and soothing. It's expensive, but you can brew the same tea over and over again, so you get many more cups of tea out of this than many other teas.

Can't go wrong with this tea! It's benefits and how it goes well with every tea I have blended it with, not to mention the multiple steeps I get from it... Well worth the price!

I'm sipping on the tea right now, and reading the reviews. I find it to be very soothing. I find myself on somedays just opening the tin to smell the beautiful aroma.

I don't like a lot of caffeine so this tea is great for me. I can't quite describe how it tastes but I really really love it. I also know it's actually "good for you" which is a plus for me as well. I drink it without any flavoring or sweetener or milk. Also, it can be re-steeped 4-5 times so the price isn't so bad when you see how many cups you're going to get out of it.

This tea is good for relaxing in the evening...it is very light and subtle and I found that adding a bit of rock sugar really smooths out the flavor. So far, I dont think I am much of a white tea fan....I like a bolder flavor in most of my teas...but this one does work well when I am in the mood for something sweet and light. I didnt find it to be sweet alone as some other reviewers have stated...I found I had to add sweetness to it otherwise it just tasted vegetal to me. Since it is so pricey, I probably would not purchase this one again.

Although this tea is on the high end, it is very tasty. I had to adjust the amount I use because there is a lot of needles in the "pearls." I would highly recommend this tea on its own or combined with a fruity tea.

I'm not one to buy the expensive teas. Heck, I go for the three dollar one's some of the times. I've had expensive one's before, and this tea is worth it. I took a chance buying this tea, and I'm telling you. It's unique in the fact that it's naturally sweet. Sweet like honey, not with a honey taste but in the same way honey is sweet. No where you go, "Oh this is sugary" but "Oh this is tasty sweet!" The smell of it, the color, the body, it tastes so good! If you were to spend money on an expensive tea, this is it. Do it, you will not regret it.
