2021 Sheng Zhi Pine Needle Bai Cha - White Tea

wild mushrooms - wood incense - deep sweetness

This white tea is simply extraordinary! It offers a long, sweet finish and an incredibly comforting experience. The leaves were hand-picked in the virgin tea forests of Jushan Duming, where ancient, endemic tea trees grow undisturbed.

A virgin tea forest refers either to unique, untouched forests in China or Sri Lanka where tea bushes grow naturally. An exclusive tea where only the finest buds are collected under strict protocols to avoid contamination by human oils or external aromas.
