General Aged White Tea

This white from Yunnan, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. Deep and complex, this tea offers a thick, substantial body with resonant low tones and a profound natural character. It unveils a powerful, evolving profile throughout a session, making it a compelli. It sits in the "Deep" and "Complex" and "Earthy" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans deep and complex and earthy.

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 2020 harvest.
