The Tao of Tea The Tao of Tea, Spring Plucked White Tea, Imperial White, 2 oz (57 grams)

Product information Overview Pure Leaf TeasBrews 60 Cups OriginFujian, ChinaImperial White is a calming white tea from Fujian province.  Known as 'Bai Cha' in Chinese, white teas are made from the newly sprouted 'buds' of the tea plant. These buds have silvery white hair 'down' that provide a honey texture to the brew. In making white tea, the buds are 'heat braised' in covered pans or dried in direct sun. As a result there is little or no oxidization. FujianFujian Province is situated along China's southeastern coast. Fujian's subtropical, marine climate is especially conducive to tea cultivation. The province has a 1,600 year history with tea. The earliest written record of tea production in Fujian is kept on a stone tablet at the 'Lian Hua Feng' (Lotus Peak) in Nan'an County.SeasonThe young leaves of Imperial White are best in early spring. If stored well (airtight in dark, low humidity), the leaves retain flavor over time.Flavor ProfileLight yellow color brew with vegetal taste and pine aroma.The Tao of TeaLike the Tao, the art of tea is universal.
