Spring Aged Yunnan White Tea

This white from Yunnan, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This pressed white tea from Yunnan offers a remarkably smooth and velvety texture with a soft mouthfeel. It carries a unique, natural fragrance that hints at its large-leaf origins, evolving beautiful. It sits in the "Smooth" and "Velvety" and "Aromatic" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans smooth and velvety and aromatic.

Aim for water around 75–85 °C (167–185 °F). Western style: steep for 3–5 minutes in a mug or teapot. Gongfu style: use 4–5 g per 100 ml, 20–40 s infusions for multiple short steeps — this way you can taste how the flavor evolves. White tea is forgiving. If you overshoot the steep time a little, it rarely turns bitter.

This white is grown in Yunnan, China. This particular batch comes from the Spring 2017 harvest.
