Rare White

This white from Yunnan, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This unique white tea offers a distinctive profile, featuring robust pine smoke balanced by a medicinal sweetness and charred herbal notes. Its complex character unfolds beautifully, providing an enga. It sits in the "Smoky" and "Herbal" and "Sweet" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans smoky and herbal and sweet.

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 2023 harvest.
