White Symphony – A.C. Perchs Thehandel

Hm, interesting – I didn’t have high hopes for the White Mulberry (What’s a white mulberry, anyway? What’s its purpose?) and there were no reviews to read, really, but I ended up absolutely loving it – this one, on the other hand, was talked up by a certain T, so I thought it would be something …

White Lounge Tea – A.C. Perch’s

So after steeping that White Mulberry for 6 minutes, it wasn’t too daunting to leave this in the basket for 8, in accordance with the instructions on the bag. Dry, this tea smells sweet and fruity.

There’s definitely a difference, and for the better – it tastes clearer and lighter, and even the most delicate flavours seem crisper, more well-defined. Now this might be typical for cold-steeping versus cooling a hot-brewed tea of this kind, but I haven’t …

White Temple Tea – A. C. Perchs Thehandel

When I bought this, I got the tea in a paper bag, as per A.C. Perch’s usual routine. At Kastrup airport, my whole carry-on smelled like a ‘Caribbean whorehouse’, according to the security guy, who looked like he knew what he was talking about. The tea proceeded to invade my kitchen cabinet for more than …
