2020 Yueguangbai White Tea, Wild Forest stone-pressed cake

This white tea comes from our wild tea forest in Nannuo mountain, and it has all the lively freshness and intensity of the first spring flush, with a mellow softness given by the natural aging process. 
The 2020 harvest has a surprising sweetness, and a delicate floral aftertaste that comes slowly, to last for a long time at the bottom of the teacup after drinking the clear liquor.

When unwrapping the package, a delicate fragrance comes from these leaves, reminiscent of a high mountain breeze. The liquor has a unique shade, different than any other harvest: a mixture of golden hues and light green nuances, it flows from the teapot to the cup like liquid jade.

From leaf to teapot: farmed, harvested, processed, and distributed by Eastern Leaves.
