Origin: Ming Jian, Nantou, Taiwan,
Harvest: end of February 2024
Cultivar/Tree Variety: Qi Yun, TTES 23
Juicy, refreshing and very smooth this year white tea where you can find pleasant grassy freshness and amazing notes of citruses with some tangy nuances that remind us well made first flush Darjeeling teas!
This white tea is unique from many reasons: it’s organic, picked in early spring and made from the one of the youngest Taiwanese tea cultivar registered in 2018 under the name Qi Yun and number 23.
Qi Yun cultivar was “created” by crossbreeding several bushes from Qimen (Anhui, maindland China) in Taiwan Tea Research Institute. Obviously it’s the bush made for producing black teas but experiments with white tea production are very satisfying.
