    • Yunnan Da BaiTea Varietal

    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.

    Tasting Profile

    • savory - marshmallow, toasted burdock
    • floral - jasmine, marigold
    • fruit - orange peel
    • spice - cardamom, white peppercorn, nutmeg
    • texture - soft minerality, lingering sweetness, cooling sensation


the Xingyang Workshop also recommends: 

  • 'We got a ton of deep tobacco and savory sweet Japanese nori on the first infusion, along with an exotic cumin and nutmeg accent in the background. In later infusions, the savory notes faded to make way for sweet tulsi and elderflower as well as a hint of fruity raisin flavor.'
