Description

Spring 2013 “Imperial Yunnan Dong Ting Bi Luo Chun” White tea

Processed in the same way as Jiangsu Bi Luo Chun this Yunnan varietal is made entirely from first flush tea from Simao in Yunnan. The tea is entirely hand-plucked tender shoots, picked in a two day period when the tiny shoots of spring meet the sun for the first time!

Extremely delicate tea in both appearance and taste. Smooth sweet taste and highly aromatic!

A rare Yunnan tea that reflects the high state of modern Yunnan tea culture!

February 26th to 28th harvest!
