Crafted By the Wu Family

The Wu Family is committed to biodiversity and stewardship on their pristine high elevation plot, picking rare old-growth wild-arbor tea bushes.
 
Mr. Wu practices zero-intervention finishing in the workshop, allowing their precious white tea to air dry without heat exposure for a crisp, sweet, and deeply-nuanced brew.

    • Wuyangcun
    • ELEVATION600 METERS
    • Xiao BaiTea Varietal

    The Wu Family's oldest prized tea bushes growing among wild trees, flowers and bamboo are picked once in the extreme early spring for a bud-only harvest, and then allowed to build up nutrients until they are picked a second time when delicate leaves begin to unfurl. This second harvest of buds and leaves is what makes their fine Bai Mudan- full of the complexity that later season sunlight brings but the sweetness and texture of the early cold-weather buds.

    2024 Bai Mu Dan

    Bai Mudan, or White Peony tea from the Wu Family represents their most balanced expression of the wild mountain terroir, with both flavorful leaves and tender downy buds for a tea that shows off whiet tea’s iconic sweet smooth texture and a deep wild forest quality. The Wu Family finishes these leaves under a special shaded air circulation process developed by Mr. Wu. 
  2. 2024 Shou Mei Dragon Pearls
    2024 Shou Mei Dragon Pearls

    The Wu Family’s Shou Mei is deep, rich and bold - a flavorful expression of white tea, picked from later season larger leaves that are packed with the complexity that a wild, biodiverse landscape brings to the Wu Family’s old-growth Da Bai varietal bushes. The Shou Mei grows even deeper, sweeter and darker with age like pu’er, and this year, the Wu Family pressed their Shou Mei in individual single session dragon pearls to protect them for transit and long term aging.
