Heavy Roast Aged Yunnan White Tea

This white from Yunnan, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This unique white tea offers a captivating profile with rich fig jam sweetness and a distinct flame-kissed floral perfume. Its complex character, shaped by traditional charcoal roasting in the Wuyi mo. It sits in the "Sweet" and "Floral" and "Roasted" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans sweet and floral and roasted.

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. After picking, the leaves received a heavy roast, which shapes the final flavor.
