Product Description

NEW SELECTION | Eight Special Grade Custom Tea Crops with flowering jasmine and amaranth blossoms | Antioxidant-Rich – ‘Pearls of White Tea’ from the Tai Mu hills/Fujian Province in Southern China.
The tippy ‘Silver Needles’ and leaves of this tea are picked only a few days a year. The gentle ‘steaming and drying’ process in the open air allows the White Tea to create its sweet and fresh aroma and soft taste.

During the infusion the button will open and expose stringed-together blossoms that will slowly raise to the top of the beverage. Also known as ‘display teas’, this ‘White Tea Sampler’ selection is prized for its special flavors.
Only small amounts of the tips are harvested and made available to the market.

General Info: Leaves for green and black Teas are grown and harvested in 14 provinces of Central and Southern China. The Tea Estates are located in the mountain regions. Climate and elevation produce a wide variety of blends and flavors of the Thea sinensis that are lower in tannic acid than the Thea assamica species that is cultivated in India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. The best known names are China Keemun, Szechwan, Yunnan, Fujian, Jasmine and Rose Tea. The best tea crop quality derives from leaves that are picked during the spring harvest and mostly air-dried.
