Rare White

This distinctive Yunnan white tea from old trees offers a delightful richness and candy-like sweetness. It presents a bright clarity on the palate, carrying lovely sugarcane aromas that linger long af. It leans sweet, candied and bright.

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 Yunnan, China from the Assamica cultivar. This batch is from the 2021 harvest.

Starts at $2.45 from white2tea, or about $0.35/g. A 7g package gets you around 1 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $2.10 per session. Explore more white teas on Teadar.
