Description

A white tea from ancient tea trees

A tea derived from wild, ancient trees. Veiled in mist at 1,500 metres, these tea trees elude view and are accessible only following twelve hours of trekking, through unspoiled terrain traversed by the sound of a river.

The delicate character of this white tea emerges in its silky texture and its floral and vanilla aromas, which dissolve softly across the palate.

This tea originates from organic cultivation and holds certification from an authorized independent inspection agency.

The mastery of the Dao

This white tea emerges from the skilled hands of the Dao: artisans of weaving in bold colours, they equally demonstrate their expertise in the growing and crafting of tea.
