5 Tasting Notes View all

“This is a tea I kind of forgot I have, which is surprising because my collection is not that big. I just don’t drink a lot of white tea. I bought it either year of or year after and it’s picked up...” Read full tasting note
“At this point, the tea is not very exciting overall. The flavours are somewhat muted, and there is also some surt of off-putting taste to it. Moreover, I don’t really enjoy the sort of bitterness...” Read full tasting note

Description

Made from the first flush of Spring 2017 White Pekoe (Camellia Taliensis) growing in Yang Ta village in Jing Gu county. Just the bud is picked but then instead of processing like white tea it’s sun-dried (like Pu-erh). These extra large buds come from Camellia Taliensis varietal and give a sweet taste and heady pungent fruit and flower aroma!

These little cakes are lightly compressed and will come apart easily with a pu-erh pick. The tea can be aged for several years and will develop honey sweetness with hints of hay over the years.
