2020 Balance - 200g

Reference:

. .

Combination of Jing Gu Yue Guang Bai and Zi Juan (white tea made of purple varietal leaf) makes well balanced taste of flowery-fruity notes of YGB combined with herbal notes of Zi Juan. We recommend to start with lighter infusions in order to find your own sweet spot of this unique taste of white tea which you normally won't find on market as we made this small batch blend our selves

More info

Calligraphy on wrapper is Ying - Yang written by our calligrapher Fan De Hui.

Zi Juan - literally Purple Beauty , is a reputedly scarce purple-leaf Yunnan (云南) Da Ye (大叶) cultivar, high in Anthocyanin , which is a class of flavonoids, occurring in many plants, and lending a red or purple pigmentation to, among other things, autumn leaves; especially high in some tea cultivars and perhaps lending heightened florality to tea liquor made from those cultivars.

2022 Balance/Saldo

A sample of this tea was included with my order.
When prepared as specified, the tea corresponds to the description. In addition, I think I taste marzipan aromas. And it has a wonderful sweetness reminiscent of honey.
A wonderful white tea.
Unfortunately only two infusions.
