Origin
Lincang · Yunnan, China
Lincang is one of Yunnan’s great tea landscapes, with a long history of using tea and a remarkable diversity of old and wild-growing trees. This white tea draws on that regional leaf tradition, giving mature forest-grown material a gentler expression through withering and sun drying.

Lincang · Yunnan, China
Lincang’s mountain terrain, generous rainfall, and distinct wet and dry seasons support a varied forest landscape. Here, tea trees grow among other plants, with changing light and shelter from the surrounding canopy. These conditions provide the natural setting for the large leaves that bring body and depth to this white tea.

Craft
Leaves from ancient, wild-growing tea trees are gently withered and sun-dried, with minimal handling along the way.
Leaves are gathered from the ancient, wild-growing tea trees in their forest setting. Careful handling keeps the large-leaf material intact for the simple white-tea process that follows.
The leaves are spread out to release moisture gradually, without rolling or heat fixing. This gentle approach preserves their whole-leaf form as their aroma begins to develop.
The withered leaves finish drying in sunlight, spread with room for moisture to escape. This completes the sun-dried white-tea process while preserving the leaf’s natural shape and gentle character.
Quality leaves and traditional craftsmanship let you enjoy more from every pouch. Brew each pouch of Yunnan Sun-Dried White Tea 5 times, using 150 ml of water for each infusion.

It is a white tea. The leaves are withered and sun-dried, without the rolling or pan-firing used to make raw pu-erh. Yunnan large-leaf material gives it a fuller texture than many bud-focused white teas.
The leaves come from old, wild-growing tea trees in Lincang’s mountain forests. The tea opens with wildflower notes, then develops ripe-fruit and honeyed sweetness.
Tasting Pack contains 2 individually wrapped 5 g pouches, for 10 g of tea. Use one pouch per gongfu brewing session and enjoy several infusions from the same leaves.
Keep the tea dry, sealed, and away from strong odors, direct sunlight, and heat. Reseal any opened pouch between uses.

The dry leaves have a lovely rose aroma. The tea itself is slightly sweet, with a flavor that reminds me a bit of sweet potato.

First time drinking white tea. I was surprised by how similar it feels to green tea, but much smoother — no bitterness, just a soft and slightly sweet finish.
