So you decided to try white tea, eh? You're going to do it this time, for real. After begging and pleading for a year, your boyfriend finally convinced you to try his white tea. Well don't let us stop you! We encourage it. The Tea Amigos have been in favor of people expanding their teasanship beyond their comfort zones and experimenting with white teas. There are many advantages to drinking white tea. One is that white tea benefits your grocer or the retailer you ordered it from because white tea is the most expensive type of tea.

Stash Fusion Green and White Tea
Mike: Dax and I work in marketing and as such have a keen eye for hilarious bogus advertising. First off, let me tell you that the Stash Tea box is one of the fanciest cardboard boxes around. I can tell you that the marketeers at Stash thought about the color scheme and other such nuances for a while. The light green hue...(Read more)
Organic and Pure White Tea with Peppermint
Mike: Sometimes flavors clash. That's what I feel with this Organic and Pure White Tea with Peppermint. Since I've never been a big peppermint tea aficionado, I might have a bias against them. In this white tea, the peppermint completely overpowers the flavor. In general I'd think the white tea + peppermint blend would be a poor...(Read more)
