Taste and Organoleptics of Yunnan White Tea
The taste of this elite white tea is exceptionally soft and silky, without the slightest astringency. Each brew offers a sensation of freshness and lightness, leaving a subtle sweet aftertaste on the tongue. The infusion has a transparent, light golden or pale apricot hue, like a sunbeam caught in a cup. The aftertaste is long, refreshing, with a pleasant, barely perceptible sweetness that invites new infusions, revealing new facets of the tea nectar. The large leaves and silvery buds, characteristic of this variety, create an oily infusion that coats the palate, providing true delight. This tea is ideal for meditative tea ceremonies, allowing one to fully immerse themselves in a world of harmony and tranquility.
