Description

Drum Mountain White Cloud is known as Gu Shan Bai Yun. This white tea comes from Drum Mountain, where the monks of the historic Buddhist Drum Mountain monastery harvested tea for centuries. The legendary tea explorer, Sir Robert Fortune, visited this site in the mid-19th century and praised the tea. Grown in the clouds and mist environment, known as “yun wu” in China, this white tea is wonderfully fragrant and has a mild, sweet taste with a slightly nutty flavor. It is very easy to brew and doesn’t become bitter from oversteeping. Very low in caffeine.

Chinese Name: Gu Shan Bai Yun
