I have about 96g of this (https://www.taiwanteacrafts.com/product ... -white-tea) unusual white tea, made with Red Jade (TRES #18) varietal leaves. It's a solid, moderately priced, interesting tea. The vendor says that it is fully handmade, which is obviously simpler for a white. I overpurchased thinking I would love it, but it's just not for me. It's intensely savory/umami, with a thick mouthfeel, and retains that "menthol" flavor that characterizes the red tea made from this cultivar. Something tells me this would appeal to many green tea aficionados.
Would anyone like to trade it for something moderately priced but good quality that they don't see themselves drinking? I'd hate to see it go to waste! I'm a fan of oolongs, reds, and (usually) whites, but am open to suggestions.

Not that it helps your current situation much, but if I have this kind of tea I do not fully enjoy, they just become my teas to go if I just need a thermos full of something when going out to exercise and do not want to use the good stuff.
I have had white teas from Taiwan and they are quite different than the ones from China. Usually took longer steeping and slightly cooler water to make them nice.
But I can imagine a white from the N.18 variety being somewhat of an acquired taste. Leaves looks very similar to what I had back then, liquid is slightly reddish?

Actually, if anything I think this tea might benefit from flash-steeping - it gets very strong.Bok wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2018 7:43 pmNot that it helps your current situation much, but if I have this kind of tea I do not fully enjoy, they just become my teas to go if I just need a thermos full of something when going out to exercise and do not want to use the good stuff.
