Tasting notes: The threadlike leaves of this delicate gem are pale green and uniform. Unfurled they look so tender and perfect that they seem barely plucked from the branch of the tea plant. They release a lush scent of greenery mixed with fresh grass and asparagus with light notes of white flowers. The pale liquid slides suavely and smoothly through the mouth. The sweet and tart attack swells to aromas of ground cherries and fresh beans. The overall sensation is both gentle and dazzling and has a remarkable balance. Fresh and exquisite, the long vegetal finish is undercut with flowers and transports the taster.
Recommended infusion accessory: A zhong or small teapot.
Harvest time of Anji White tea
Anji White tea is a rare and precious variation of tea. Its color can turn from white to green. The time to produce white tea usually lasts only a month. Buds of Anji White tea germinated before Tombsweeping Day are white. The color gradually turns into jade white before Grain Rain. And then the buds will turn into white and green leaves between Grain Rain and summer solstice. Finally, the leaves become completely green when summer is coming and there is no difference from common green tea.
As a kind of White tea itself, different from the common tea
Anji White tea is processed in the same way as green tea. It still belongs to green tea or green tea of white leave. As Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty says, "White tea stands itself and differs from common tea". Anji White tea seems very precious because of its unique features.
