General Aged White Tea

This aged Fuding white tea offers a comforting depth with notes of dried hay, sweet dates, and a hint of aged parchment. Its mellow character unfolds into a smooth, lingering finish, inviting quiet co. It leans earthy, mellow and sweet.

Water around 75–85 °C (167–185 °F). In a mug, steep 3–5 min. For gongfu, use 4–5 g per 100 ml, 20–40 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. Pretty forgiving. Oversteeping by a bit won't ruin it the way it would with a green.

Grown in Fujian, China from the Fuding Dabaicha cultivar. This batch is from the 2011 harvest.

Starts at $26.95 from Jesse's Teahouse, or about $0.35/g. A 40g package gets you around 7 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $2.10 per session. Explore more white teas on Teadar.
