Spring Rare White

This white from Yunnan, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This unique white tea from the high-altitude Ai Lao Mountains offers a delightful aromatic journey. Expect a robust, thick body with nuanced hints of sweet sugarcane and refreshing notes of wheatgrass. It sits in the "Sweet" and "Vegetal" and "Full-bodied" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans sweet and vegetal and full-bodied.

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 Spring 2026 harvest.

Prices start at $8.00 through Yunnan Sourcing — that works out to about $0.11 per gram. A 50g package gives you roughly 8 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which puts each session at around $0.66. You can compare prices across all vendors carrying this tea on the Teadar product page.
