Description

This white tea is an early spring harvest. It is fresh and fruity in flavor. The infused brew is very white and laden with lots of hairs from these buds.

This is a special tea made from Jinggu Yang Ta Large Leaf varietal tea (Camellia Taliensis). The tea is picked in the early spring, wilted slightly and then dried with warm wind tunneled through the tea until it is dry.
