About This Tea
What does 2023 Calabash taste like?
This unique white tea from Yunnan has been expertly pine-smoked in a traditional Lapsang Souchong smokehouse in Fujian. It offers an engaging profile of medicinal sweetness balanced by distinct charre. It leans smoky, herbal and sweet.
How should I brew 2023 Calabash?
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.
