Although this amazing tea is pu’er leaf buds, it is best described and prepared as a white tea since it is picked in the late winter/early spring of 2011 and only sundried. No other processing takes place.
The liquor is clear and the flavor is sweet and floral with hints of pine. Complex flavors and yet so simple to enjoy. Mild and pleasant. This tea is rare and beautiful, as fresh as spring!
This is a wonderful example of a tea that will change and deepen in flavor over time. We recommend storing it airtight for the first year and then opening to the air for further aging as a pu'er tea.
Our tea shop customers have consumed our first shipment quickly and we now have enough to offer to our fine online customers, too!
