“Extraordinary, unlike any other white tea I’ve ever tasted – it’s full flavored like a standard black Assam, but without the harsher edge/incredibly strong maltiness that many of them have. Fruity...” Read full tasting note
A rare and exquisite Indian White Assam from the Mothola Estate, one of the only White Assam producing estates in India. The young buds are handpicked in early spring and then air dried. These handpicked buds are long and velvety smooth, a mixture of silver and green colours, with a rich floral aroma.
The liquor is bright and beautifully smooth, with no astringency even after several infusions. The rich malty flavour associated with Assam is present here, along with fruity mango flavours and smooth floral notes.
Differing in taste from Chinese white teas, this white Assam is a unique and beautiful tea.
