I was due for a newer portable tea container, so I purchased my favorite social tea flavor that I can take with me and refill at will. During the year, I use the container for other favorites, such as Comfort & Joy, Emperor's White, Cinnamon/Cardamom, and Orange Pekoe.

Lovely tea and lovely RoT
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Have been buying this tea for many years and have never found anything which at all compares with the quality and flavour of this tea, it’s just by far the best white tea. I’m an international customer in the UK and so pleased RoT ships internationally. The tea arrives in good time and condition. Thanks RoT, please keep doing what you do so well.

Nice slight change of pace and quick steep
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Really enjoy the flavor of this, it's simple but a fun change of pace from green tea. A little lower in caffeine too. Short steeping time is convenient (I prefer to steep it for two minutes, even though it says one minute, but this is shorter than typical tea steep times.)

Light sips but watch your timer
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

A light sipping tea. I drink it straight,t but my friend adds just a sprinkle of sugar. Be sure to pay attention to your time or it can turn bitter. On a couple of occasions, I walked away and it steeped for too long. Still drinkable, but then you do need sugar and milk as it's closer to a bitter black.

My Go-To Tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I love this tea. I used to get silver needle white tea from a little shop in Chinatown a few decades ago. I had missed my white tea and nothing I found really compared to what I used to get until I found this tea. Now, this tea is on subscription. It is light, delicious, and much more convenient than loose leaf. This white tea can be drank pretty much anytime of day. Be sure to not let is steep too long, follow the directions on the tin.

The Emperor's New Clothes
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars

i feel a bit like the Emperor. For the extra expense of this tea I was expecting more not less. If subtle is what you want, then by all means enjoy this tea. I must admit that I prefer something less exquisite such as the Sping Cherry Green Teawhich The Republic of Tea ststes is "a nice intro to the world of green teas." To me, the Emporer's White tea is without any special flavor. I am giving this tea a 2 rather than a 1 as it isnt so much that it tastes bad, it just doesnt have much taste other than a mild bitter tea taste. While this is the lowest review I have given out among the couple dozen or so teas I have tried, based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews for this tea, I would't take my word for it.

Delicate and subtle.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

It took a few teabags before I really started to appreciate it, but... This is a winner. The fragrance is almost floral, very delicate, subtle and lovely. The tea is not bitter and has a faint aftertaste like stone fruit (reminiscent of white peach; I'm Asian) that I associate with good quality white tea. And it really does feel like it has low caffeine - it's the only tea I can drink in the afternoon without worrying whether I'll be able to sleep at night. Almost all tea types will keep me awake if I drink them in the afternoon, but white tea does not. (Although I don't push it beyond 4-5PM even then.) I also love that it comes in teabags, which is hugely convenient because I can just brew this in a mug at work rather than waiting for the weekend to break out my teapot and strainer. Even casual tea drinkers at my workplace who tried this one all liked it. FYI this is NOT a strong tea with full flavor like black tea varieties (e.g. Earl Grey). I felt that full 15-16oz water with just one Emperor's White tea bag was enough for me (that gives me light golden color liquor), but if you're used to stronger flavors, it may take a little time to appreciate this one. I'd say be patient and try this one for a little while, without any additives. Emperor's White is a delight on its own.

Helps me clear my mind and relax
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

This white tea is really a nice change of pace. I usually go for green or back tea and lately flavored and floral teas. However, this tea is really mellow, as one review said, and it is nice for when you want something light. It has a light flavor unless you steep it too long, and like most teas, becomes a bit bitter. However, it also gets a richer flavor so sometimes I let it steep a little too long. I think this is a good tea when you just want to clear the mind or you have eaten something with a little too much flavor. It won't be one I get all the time but I recommend trying it if you are a tea lover.

I use this delightful white tea as a base in which to add a bit of lavender and or a touch of rosewater, lemon Verbena, orange zest, lemon, lime or grapefruit zest to create individualized teas for friends, family and for myself. It is a tea that is delicious both hot or iced.

Deserving Of Its "Royal" Title!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This exquisitely elegant white tea is richly deserving of its royal title! Smooth, subtle and slightly sweet, it is quite possibly the most perfect tea of its variety on this planet...or most certainly amongst R of T's many, many excellent offerings! Albeit it tad more pricey than its similar counterparts, the Emperor's tea of choice is worth every penny...and a must for those "common connoisseurs" who also enjoy the finer things in life!

Best of the Best White Tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This Tea is a True White Tea ! Which surprisingly enough is hard to find these days. Most retailers of White Tea are selling tea that is a mix of Green and White Teas. Or White Tea and some other unknown tea adding to the mix to make it go farther… True White Tea has a light Amber Shade to the color when steeped, and doesn't need sugar at all . The only other place to source true white tea is to buy the hand rolled Pearls directly from China or India…

Magic tea!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Simply put, this tea really is amazing. It has a delicate, smooth flavor that is very unique and unlike any other tea I've had. As a daily tea drinker, I drink it hot or iced, year round with honey or sugar and it never disappoints. I highly recommend it to anyone who's an avid tea drinker, or is looking to try a new type of tea/switch over to tea. Over the past few years, I have tried white tea from different brands, but none compare to Republic of Tea!

Mellow, late-night cup
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

Sweet, pleasing herbaceous nose. Trickier to prepare than most teas -- mind the water temperature and the steeping time -- but it makes a sweetly fragrant, mellow cup. Pale straw in color. Vegetal flavors become more pronounced with longer steeping, and as these notes might seem to throw off the balance of flavors depending on one's taste, figuring out when to remove the tea bag is crucial. Experiment with steeping times to get the best out of this tea. Great low-caffeine choice for winding down late in the evening.

A simple lovely white tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

It is difficult to find a plan, simple white tea with no extras, but Republic of Tea has done it! This is my favorite tea, I always keep my kitchen stocked with it, and I consume between 6-8 bags per day. I bulk-order the 250-count version, now, since I was going through the 50-count cans too quickly. Sometimes I will add a bag of hibiscus to my mug if I feel like having a little kick of citrusey vitamin C flavor, but usually I use 2 bags in my travel mug. I love this tea!
