Wild Ancient Tree White – Rare White Tea from Century-Old Yunnan Trees

Wild 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.

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.

This is one of the best and most unique-tasting teas I've had. The floral/berry notes are almost addictive. Highly recommend.

I wasn’t too impressed to begin with but just kept coming back to it over and over again . I’ve just placed another larger order because running out now would be unthinkable.

Possibly the best tea that there is. You’re struck by the scent as soon as you open the packet, a peachy floral smell.

A robust yet delicate flavour that remains with repeated brews.

This is one of the best white teas I've ever had. I'm not as good at describing tea tastes as other people, but it's surprisingly sweet and is reminiscent of peach or apricot with a floral taste mixed in. The origin of the tea is also impressive; from wild old trees at 1000 meters elevation in the Yunnan mountains.
