In Pursuit of Tea wasn’t lying when they said “be sure to use enough” (they suggest two tablespoons per 6 oz.). This is a very, very light tea whose correct brewing can bring out some nice subtleties.
Drum Mountain White Cloud
White Tea by In Pursuit of Tea
Drum Mountain White Cloud, known as Gushan Baiyun, is grown on a mountain top in northern Fujian where, traditionally, the monks at the historic Buddhist Drum Mountain Monastery grew it. Sir Robert Fortune, the eccentric English tea explorer, visited in the mid-19th century and drank this white tea. Easy to drink, mild, sweet, and fragrant, with a soft coconut flavor. Low in caffeine. It’s a very lightweight tea – be sure to use enough.
