This winter-harvest white tea grows semi-wild in Yunnan. Xingyang Workshop has pressed the buddy leaf material into discs divided into single-steeping wedges for convenience and aging. Yunnan Da Bai varietal white tea has the potential to take on incredible depth and texture from its surroundings, and as a wild arbor harvest, this tea is packed with herbaceous mineral-driven complexity. Perfect to enjoy now or age for years to bring out deeper darker flavors and aromas.
