White Tea

Pu-erh tea buds are a special and unique tea. They are collected from wild growing tea trees in Yunnan Province. The bright liquor has a very faint colour and surprisingly complex flavours of light wood, earthiness, pine and hops with a long lasting soothing flowery sweetness.

An organically grown white tea from Simao in Yunnan Province in China. It was harvested by hand at an altitude of about 1500-1600 m above sea level,  a bud and one to two leaves plucking style. The fragrance of the dry tea leaves is fresh and the infusion tastes smooth, sweet and soft with nutty tones and a subtle florality. The aroma and texture of this tea reminds one of an aged white tea.

The clean taste has a herbaceous profile, you can recognize light cinnamon spice aroma when brewed.  Thick and sweet. Very lubricating mouth-feel that stays in the mouth after drinking.

Bai Hao Yin Zhen. Bai Hao, or ‘silver’, refers to the downy white pekoe growing along the buds, while Yin Zhen, ‘needle’, describes the appearance of the thick, straight buds, with tips as fine and sharp as needles. When brewed, the heat of the water arouses and magnifies the delicious fragrance of this tea, with its delicious essence and substance spreading into the light yellow liquid.

The leaves for our old white tea (Lao Bai Cha) originate from the mountainous region around the district town of Fuding, located on the border of the Fujian and Zhejiang provinces. Buds and two to three leaves are always harvested from a large-leaf tea plant, in this case a quality grade corresponding to Silver Peony tea has been used. The resulting pressed tea may be consumed immediately, but may also be exposed to a process of ageing for several years. The oxidation process was halted by hot steam, and the leaves were pressed in a traditional stone press. With age this tea gains refinement, the sharp to piquant flavour attributes have been rounded off over the years.
