why is white tea in teabags often mixed with other flavors? Can't it stand on it's own?

Question

ever notice that white tea often has hints of berries or peach flavored or ginger in it?

Answer 1

Natural white tea has a very delicate flavour, a bit like green tea without the bitter edge, or mild darjeeling. The producers don't think this will be to the taste of most Western consumers, so they add all sorts of junk to it.

If you can get white tea without these things, personally I think it's much nicer and it can stand on its own! But it is a subtle flavour and it won't be to everyone's taste.

Answer 2

it's taste is so subtle that most people need the enhanced version since thew they blew their taste butts with all that junk...

Answer 3

white tea comes plain, but they add that other stuff to spices it up so you don't get tired of it...........
