This unique tea is produced from the buds of Taliensis tea plants. It comes from Yunnan province, renowned for both pu erh and more recently black tea. Following our Tea Researcher Léo's recommendation, the grower tried making white tea, and the result is a marvel!
This white tea boasts a remarkable range of fragrances, revealing shimmering floral and fruity notes against an exceptionally thick texture.
