Details

The Sowmee White tea blend from English Tea Store is one of the lower grades of white tea, but despite this it has the properties attributed to white teas. The leaves for Sowmee are plucked during late April, May and June. The lack of processing and hand selection is evident in the leaf appearance of Sowmee as it is somewhat mixed and tending flaky and flat.

This Sowmee has a more pronounced taste profile - almost oolong tea-like. Many white tea drinkers prefer this cup in that there is a "substance" to the taste compared to the delicate nuances of other white teas.

Soft and Gentle Tea

"Sowmee White Tea is a very pleasant change from the assertive black teas. The color is golden. The taste is deliciously allusive. You'll enjoy every sip."

GREAT ANTI VIRAL PROPERTIES

"I have been ordering this tea by the pounds for years. I give it to friends, family, coworkers, and anyone who is feeling ill. All have gotten better within a day. Sounds like snake oil, but it's true! Just try it, and if it works for you, drink it daily. , to stay healthy"

Kathie S. (5/5)

Most excellent and very reasonably priced

"A delicious, toasty, crisp and satisfying beverage - refreshing, without a caffeine jolt, making for a perfect late night cuppa as well as a pleasant breakfast brew."

Tea D. (5/5)

A very good cup of tea

"I find that when properly brewed at the right temp and steeping for the perfect amount of time the Sow Mee does not have to be considered a lower type of white tea. Granted Silver Needle White Tea is my favorite sometimes my budget does not allow me to purchase it"

Tea J. (5/5)

Not for me -- a sour taste

"I am always on the lookout for new and different white teas, as I blend my teas – green, white, and black. I tried the Sowmee because of the low price. I don't care for it as I do other white teas. It is plenty strong, but to me lends a bit of a sour taste that I don't get from my other white teas. Even in small amounts, I can still taste it."

Donna G. (4/5)

Awesome Tea

"This white tea is awesome tasting and an excellent price for the high quality of the tea."
