Description
Although the material for the tea has changed over the years, the spirit remains the same: a clean white tea that delivers a refreshing experience.
The material for this iteration uses spring Jinggu material that was oh so close to achieving organic certification. The shortcoming came in the way of the land acreage being shy of the requirements to be certified.
This material is also much more bud-heavy than previously, giving this tea a strong umami/豪香/hairy fragrance quality. Sweetness abounds in the soup and the huigan, making this a hard white tea to beat for the price, and one that we highly recommend picking up for short and long term drinking.
$0.09/gram
Picking Period: Spring 2024

Very weird tea in my opinion. I think the art explains perfectly why. This is not your typical white tea to relax and feel warmth. This tea can get astringent with relative ease, it has a lot of energy in there, so you got to be careful when and how to prepare it. It truly is like being in a pool with kids, you could get relaxed, but if you get too relaxed, they will be annoying. If you surrender to them and accept to play under their conditions, then you can have lots of fun.
I wonder how this tea will develop over the years tho.

Simple softness welcome in winter
//Smell: Flowery hand cream, sweet notes, heaviness, dry vegetal, restaurant pot-pourri,
//Texture: Smooth and soft, cold on the front of the palate, medium to thick texture
//Taste: Sweet flowery cream, vegetal, spring-like vibe, dumpling dough with herbs, mineral, a bit salty
//Body sensation: Hot ears, tired eyes, peaceful moment, sounds sensitive, refreshing
