HAECHI White Tea Bags

Here's the thing - the packaging says 'tea bags' but what you're actually getting is compressed loose leaf bricks. Each brick is individually wrapped in a sealed packet, and when you drop it in hot water, it dramatically expands into full leaves. A couple of customers found this confusing at first, but most ended up loving the whole leaf quality and the cool visual of watching the brick unfurl.

This is a delicate, smooth white tea with herbaceous and slightly floral notes - some people pick up hints of honey or natural sweetness. The flavor is mild and mellow, definitely not bitter even if you steep it a bit longer than intended. Think fresh and clean rather than bold. Multiple reviewers mentioned they needed less sugar than usual because of that natural sweetness.

You can definitely re-steep these! Most people get 2-3 good cups from a single brick. The flavor stays smooth across multiple steeps, making the price per cup much more reasonable than it first appears. Just use the same leaves and add fresh hot water.

Absolutely. First-time white tea drinkers consistently praised this one, and it's pretty forgiving - no mess, no floating bits, and it doesn't turn bitter easily. The whole process of watching the compressed brick expand into full leaves is kind of mesmerizing too. Just one heads up: the instructions say to use boiling water, but you'll get better results with slightly cooler water around 175°F to keep that delicate flavor intact.

The metal tin is genuinely gift-quality - several reviewers specifically bought this to give as presents. But beyond looking nice, the individually sealed packets inside are the real functional win. They keep each brick fresh until you're ready to use it, which matters for maintaining that clean, delicate flavor white tea is known for.

White tea is naturally one of the lower-caffeine tea types, and this product is marketed as 'low caffeine' and 'antioxidant-rich.' While reviewers focus more on the smooth, mild flavor than caffeine content, this is a solid choice if you want tea flavor without the jolt - good for afternoon or evening drinking when you don't want to be wired.
