Description
Wild Ancient Tree White – Rare White Tea from Century-Old Yunnan TreesWild Ancient Tree White is a unique tea for many reasons. It's the least processed of teas, most closely related to the natural tea plant itself. Grown at an altitude of more than 1, 000 meters above sea level in southwestern China's Yunnan Province, it's hand-picked from wild tea trees that are over 100 years old. The tea buds are whole, plump and brilliantly green, with a unique wild-tea fragrance. Once steeped, the leaves lighten in color and release a clear golden liquor with a floral, honey-like aroma, a sweet and fresh taste and an almost creamy mouthfeel. This special tea is available in limited supply, so enjoy it while you can. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItWild Ancient Tree White offers a rare connection to tea in its most natural form. Wild, century-old trees develop deep roots and distinctive character, giving this tea a purity and sweetness that cultivated gardens can't replicate.
How to EnjoyBrew it gently in a gaiwan or glass teapot and enjoy multiple infusions, noticing how the honeyed sweetness develops. Savor it plain during a quiet moment, or share it with fellow tea enthusiasts as a special tasting. It makes an exceptional gift for tea connoisseurs. Wild, pure and naturally sweet, Wild Ancient Tree White is a rare taste of tea as nature intended. |

A little steeping tipLet just-boiled water cool for a minute or two — water that’s too hot can turn delicate leaves bitter. Good leaves give a lovely second cup, too.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
