White tea technology is one of the oldest tea processing techniques on earth when tea was considered a medicine. White tea is prepared according to a special technology of natural withering and drying, while maintaining its rich internal content with substances such as active enzymes, polyphenols, etc. Due to the special cultivars, climate, quality of the tea leaves, and low level of oxidation, this type of tea provides maximum vitamins and microelements. The highest quality white teas are made from spring young buds and leaves, traditionally dried under the sun.
Chinese traditional medicine claims that white tea has a cooling nature, dissipating heat and reducing fire. White tea strengthens the immune system, reduces the risk of heart disease, lowers blood pressure, prevents the development of cancer cells, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is considered that after 7 years of ageing, white tea acquires healing properties and could be used as a medicine. The taste develops and becomes richer and deeper.

WHITE TEA FROM ANCIENT TREES OF LINCANG
ORIGIN
Made from the tea leaves harvested from ancient trees, traditionally sun-dried and pressed into these accurate 200g cakes. Beautiful whole-leaf material that is easy to take apart. Very noble tea with good ageing potential. When properly stored, this high-quality raw material will develop even further into something unique and exquisite.
We have two options:
2020 and 2021 production!
ORGANOLEPTICS
The dry tea leaves smell amazingly sweet with notes of honey and a little bit of wood. After spending some time in a warmed gaiwan, the tea leaves start to smell even more intensely with some fruity and berry tones. A very gentle and sweet fragrance will surprise even the most sophisticated tea lovers. After rinsing the leaves, this tea continues to play with your imagination and gives you new aroma notes and flavours like apricot, dried apple, vanilla, butter, and much more. I believe that you will find something personal in this tea, something that will create a special connection between both of you. The taste is bright, refreshing, sweet, deep, and tender at the same time. A little bit of woody and light tobacco notes are somewhere in the background of a long-lasting aftertaste. The colour of an infusion is clear, and transparent with an amber tone.
