2019 Jingmai Semi-Wild Bai Cha

This white tea is very important for us.

White tea market became bit crazy during last few years. There are so many teas pretend to be aged, but they are just made with longer and stronger withering and drying process to look dark and old.

The tea we offer you now… we know from the time just after the harvest. We purchased around 10kg and for 5 years and we were observing how taste and aroma are changing.

Today,  2019 Jingmai Semi-Wild Bai Cha is simply amazing.

It comes from old semi-wild garden with almost zero human intervention..

You will find here lots of honey sweetness combined with strong herbal (almost medicinal) notes. It’s also pleasantly flowery – similar to good Oriental Beauty or elegant perfumes.

There is a saying in China about white tea: ‘one year – tea, three years – medicine, seven years – treasure’. So we are between medicine and treasure 😉

One of our favorite white tea ever.

Excellent for long term storage.

Origin: semi-wild garden in Jingmai, Lancang, Simao,  Yunnan, China.
