Spring Rare White

This pure white tea from Meng Song village offers a delightful balance of fruitiness and sweet sugarcane notes. Its thick, viscous texture provides a rich mouthfeel, promising to evolve beautifully wi. 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 2024 harvest.

Starts at $7.75 from Yunnan Sourcing, or about $0.17/g. A 25g package gets you around 4 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.02 per session. Compare white prices across vendors on Teadar.
