I'm personally not a fan of bagged teas, but my mom loves tea bags for the convenience. So last week she got me a tin of Emperor's White Tea by The Republic of Tea. Maybe I'm too used to drinking loose tea leaves, but this isn't what I expect from a white tea.
I brewed this for about half a minute with about 8 oz. of water that was cooled for about 1.5 minutes after boiling.
This tea has none of the delicate sweet flavors that I expect from any good white tea. Another strike against this tea is that it was bitter! So I adjusted my boiling temperatures to get rid of the bitterness. I ended up with an even weaker flavored tea that was still bitter...
For what this product costs, $14 from their website, this is definately an overpriced tea for the quality that you're getting.
Here's another review I found for Emperor's Whtie Tea.
