A Journey Through Three Expressions of White Tea
White tea is often considered the tea closest to nature. With only withering and drying, every decision made by the tea maker is subtle, allowing climate, landscape, and time to shape the tea's character.
This tasting set brings together three distinctive white teas, each expressing a different origin, philosophy, and journey of transformation.
Mountain
2019 Aged White Tea · Taimu Mountain, Fuding - 15g
Harvested from Taimu Mountain, the birthplace of white tea, at an altitude of 680 metres overlooking the Taiwan Strait, this tea is traditionally sun-dried without piling or accelerated oxidation.
Its bright, clean liquor reveals delicate floral aromas, fresh mineral notes, and the lingering sweetness that has made Taimu Mountain white tea legendary. Today, authentically sun-dried white tea represents only a small fraction of production, making this tea a rare expression of traditional craftsmanship.
Moon
2018 Bailu · Aged Moonlight White - 15g
Produced from the rare Jinggu Dabai cultivar, renowned for its exceptionally high amino acid content, White Heron is naturally withered before undergoing a carefully controlled alternating aerobic and anaerobic ageing process.
This gentle maturation softens the tea while preserving its remarkable freshness, resulting in a silky texture, delicate floral fragrance, mellow sweetness, and exceptional balance.
Forest
White Elephant · Ancient Tree White Tea - 15g
Harvested from 400-year-old ancient arbor tea trees, White Elephant follows the traditional white tea process of alternating indoor and sun withering before slowly ageing under carefully controlled conditions.
With time, the tea develops remarkable depth and complexity, revealing notes of honey, dried fruits, forest wood, herbs, and a long, enduring sweetness. It is a powerful yet elegant expression of the ageing potential of ancient tree white tea.
