About This Tea
What does Bamboo Dove taste like?
This unique white tea offers a complex character, balancing a natural sweetness and smooth texture with the warming intensity of an open flame roast. Hints of aromatic bamboo intertwine with the tea's. It leans sweet, roasted and woody.
How should I brew Bamboo Dove?
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.
Where does Bamboo Dove come from?
Grown in China. This batch is from the Autumn 2017 harvest. The leaves got a heavy roast after picking.
How much does Bamboo Dove cost?
