Tribute White Tea (2012 vintage—spring harvest)
Weight: 50 grams (1.76 oz)
Type: White Tea – loose leaf
Production area: Fuding, Fujian Province, China
In China, there is a popular saying about the qualities of white tea: The first year it is a tea, the third year it is a jewel, come the seventh year it attains medicinal qualities. Aged white tea has become one of the most highly sought-after teas in Asia.
The twisted silvery leaves, covered with down, offer a sweet date and rose flavor. Delicate but full-bodied, this older white tea is more complex and more comforting than the newly made white tea. If you are searching for a soft and delicious tea, this is the right one for you.
