Darjeeling Castleton Summer Moonlight White

When white tea rhymes with tasty. I love it. It reminds me my Darjeeling journey. I can clearly remind the multiple entries to the Castleton gardens.

I could drink this everyday without getting bored of it. Although not very long lasting, it is a strong bodied yet at the same time fresh, almost refreshing white tea, similar to a chinese bai mu dan but with a singular Darjeeling identity.
On top of the exceptional taste, it is definitely packed with L-theanine as I got in a very real euphoric and calm state from drinking two cups, like I’ve rarely felt drinking tea.
A top tier and must try tea, a unique experience, will buy again.

This tea is exceptional. It is exactly what I need on Saturday mornings at home. Very impressed with TeaBox. Will be ordering TB again.

Excellent quality. Very fresh.

My new order of Castleton Moonlight Summer White Tea arrives just in time to keep me warm as Fall arrives here. Once again, another delicious, delicate White Tea from Tea box. This is my third order in two years, have also enjoyed Margaret’s Hope Exotic White, Classic Spring Black and Darjeeling Special White. This teas aroma is that of a Fall Garden after the rain, its aromatic taste somewhere between floral and fruity, bit woody with perhaps a hint of plum. Keep up the good work of disrupting the industry and providing good service to your customers.

Sincerely,
Lou de H. from N.Y.C.

This is one of my favorite teas. Good aroma. I like teas that have a hint of citrus or floral without being over powering.

This tea does not have as much of a floral aroma as other white teas. The flavors are subtle, but be careful. If over brewed, it will have a bitter taste. Adjust water temperature carefully. I would recommend this tea. I rate this as an "advanced" tea due to the price and the care you need to brew a good pot, but the results are worth it if you do it right.

This tea was light and refreshing. It had an aroma that was enjoyable, and it was not bitter or grassy at all.

Very nice white tea. Flowery sweet to start with an orange hint at the finish. The liquor rolls silkily through the mouth. Very subtle aroma. Great blend for reading in the evening.

Another lovely white tea with a slight citrus bite.

This tea boasts a delightful aroma--a mixture of jasmine and peach to my nose at least. After brewing it takes on a lovely saffron and pink hue, and the peach taste intensifies, accompanied by floral undertones. It is neither especially sweet nor astringent. Very smooth, absolutely delicious. I would definitely buy this again.

I really enjoyed this one as well. I don't always drink a lot of white tea, but this was subtle and lovely.

This white tea has got to be the most delicious white tea I have ever tasted. It has a very unique plummy flavour with a floral lightness and a very smooth texture. Not only is it extremely fresh when I received it the best part is that it is very low in caffeine so that it can be drunk at any time without causing any caffeine related anxieties like other teas.

A lovely invoice from Castleton, although perhaps a bit over-graded (such is not unusual for the Goodricke gardens in general, though). That said, this "white" is certainly a nice example of the type of tippy clonal bush "moonlight" grades which the garden is justifiably known for. The price is not bad at all (comparing, say, a similar invoice from Mariage Frères for example). Should be noted: this is to be had now; these teas do not age well as all. Now if only the vendor could get similar offerings from Makaibari; perhaps in a few more years or so!

Very unique, compared to Chinese white teas. I brewed it as I would those, and it was just lovely. It started off with hints of fruitiness, almost like plum, and it got smoother and a little maltier with each infusion.
I shared with a tea connoisseur friend, and he was very impressed with it.

This tea has a delightful flavor that can be drank any time during the day. It is also a white tea that does not contain enough caffeine to cause the anxiety that other types of tea or coffee can. It is easy to tell just by looking at the tea leaf that there has been a tremendous amount of care and effort that goes into creating this product.

Favorite afternoon tea; light yet full of delicate flavor

An excellent white, complex with plenty of underlying texture.
Better served once it has cooled slightly.
Reccomended.

This tea surprised me. I love Castleton but have never had a white tea before. This tea was light in color and flavor but complex. I enjoyed the floral, herbal notes equally when it was hot and when it had cooled slightly.
