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. It’s very pretty, all long leaves and flower petals. In the cup, it’s all blackcurrant. And nicely done, too – it’s …
White Temple Tea – A.C. Perchs
So yesterday, when I said I was going to make another pitcher, I did make another pitcher. And now I find myself having to make yet another pitcher, because this is so very good it seems to just evaporate all on its own. Sorry about the utter lack of variety in tasting notes at the …
White Temple Tea – A.C. Perch’s
This time around, I cold-steeped this, as opposed to cooling a hot-steeped tea. 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 …
Precious White Peach – Teavana
I finally got around to trying this iced – I dumped the last of the leaf in a pitcher and let it steep in the fridge for about eight or so hours. It’s definitely more flavorful and interesting than the hot tea, and I imagine it would make a really good base for tea drinks …
Precious White Peach – Teavana
I find this (Christmas sale) tea frustrating. It’s full of promise – it’s beautifully chunky with fruit and it smells so, so good. There’s just no way all that lusciousness could be lost on the way to the cup. And yet it is. Following the on-bag instructions for the hot brew produces a nearly incomprehensibly …
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 …
