Made from the same material as our Elephant on Pause raw puer, this Bada white tea offers a pleasantly dynamic experience. Although it starts out light on the first brew, this tea comes alive in subsequent infusions, with strong floral notes and a slight fruitiness. The aftertaste, body, fragrance and texture all work together to create a well-rounded package with unusual complexity.

As Yunnan white teas continue to develop, this tea highlights the advancements compared to a decade or so ago, when Yunnan white tea was essentially just Yueguangbai. These days more and more producers and farmers in various part of the provinces have been experimenting and dialing in white tea processing of big leaf material, and as with this tea, with strong results. We feel this is a great tea to compare against more well known Fuding white teas, highlighting the depth of flavour and complexity that Yunnan material can bring to the table.

While it’s quite popular to press white tea for easier storage and transport, we elected to leave this tea loose. With pressing, there is inevitably some trade off of fragrance and quality for that ease of storage and transport. Our intention is to maintain as much of the fragrance and character that we love about this tea.
