Spring Aged Yunnan White Tea

This Spring 2023 white tea from Meng Song village offers a delightful profile of sugarcane juice sweetness with fruity undertones. Its thick and viscous liquor promises many satisfying steeps and will. It leans fruity, sweet and viscous.

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.

Grown in Yunnan, China from the assamica cultivar. This batch is from the Spring 2023 harvest.

Starts at $8.25 from Yunnan Sourcing, or about $0.19/g. A 25g package gets you around 4 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.14 per session. Compare white prices across vendors on Teadar.
