Aged Yunnan White Tea

This white from Yunnan, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This Yunnan white tea, though unassuming in appearance, reveals a surprising depth of character. Its aroma sings with notes of floral honeysuckle, bright clover, and sweet grass. Brewed gently, it off. It sits in the "Floral" and "Sweet" and "Fruity" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans floral and sweet and fruity.

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.

Prices start at $5.60 through white2tea — that works out to about $0.18 per gram. A 25g package gives you roughly 4 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which puts each session at around $1.08. You can compare prices across all vendors carrying this tea on the Teadar product page.
