I have to start the review by saying that I am really impressed with California Tea House. Although their offerings may not be as wide and varied as other online tea shops, the teas they offer really are high-quality and their selection is not the run-of-the-mill offerings. The latest tea I have been sampling is their Fujian New Craft. I approached this tea without reading up on it before hand. The tea is made of large, dark withered leaves, leading me to deduce that this was a black tea. Later when I looked up this product on the C.T.H. website, I learned that this is actually categorized as a white tea. C.T.H describes the tea as follows: "It uses less delicate buds than White Peony or Silver Needle and it goes through a 'special craft' of withering, rolling and drying". Even though it is a white tea, for all intents and purposes, this tea smells and tastes like a Fujian black tea: it is rich and hearty with a very sweet chocolatey taste. I tried it plain and also with milk and sugar. I preferred the tea without the addition of milk and sugar, as it was naturally sweet and satisfying on its own. This tea was very smooth and something I could see myself drinking on a cold, rainy morning (if we ever get any of those down here in South Florida). I couldn't taste any flavors that I typically associate with white teas. This is a tea I would recommend based on its uniqueness.
