2019 'FROM HERE WE GO SUBLIME' White Tea
In recent years, white tea has once again become popular in China, meaning more Yunnan tea farmers are willing to process their high-end material as white tea rather than only raw puer.
We think this cake makes abundantly clear the value of Yunnan's unique tea resources, with a thick, soft, silky smooth mouthfeel, and lots of complexity in both the fragrance and flavour.
The tea has a quite floral and somewhat fruity character, reminding us most of apricots. As the tea continues to age, more and more dark, sweet, and honey-like tones will emerge.
Spring 2019 material, 200g cakes, 5 cakes per bamboo wrapped tong. Loose compression.

We recommend approx 1g of tea per 15ml of water for Gongfu-style brewing in a teapot or gaiwan. Rinse the leaves once and then brew several times until there is no flavour left.
For Western-style brewing in a larger teapot, use approx. 5g per 100ml of water. You can re-brew the leaves a few times.
To brew direct in a mug, use 1-2g of tea in the bottom of the cup, fill with boiling water, and drink once cool. Re-fill the cup with more water when you've drunk 1/3rd of the tea. Repeat until there is no more flavour left.
All of our teas are suitable for long-term storage and aging.
Keep your tea away from sunlight and strong smells, and somewhere with stable climate conditions.
You can keep it sealed inside the re-usable bag the tea comes in, or another non-porous container.
