Our lot was crafted on April 4th of this year by Tong An, a producing farm located in the coastal mountains of Fujian Province at an elevation of eight hundred meters.
- Our lot was harvested in a mountain garden along the border of Zhejiang Province. The farm practices organic cultivation but is not certified.
- Delicate yet surprisingly expressive, AnJi White is quietly sweet and amino-acid rich, yielding a smooth umami cup with notes of orchid, fresh vegetables, and citrus.
- Literally translated as “white tea,” the cultivar leaf appears pale whitish-green at harvest before transforming into a vivid fresh green once processed.

White teas are produced in a brief window of time in the spring. The best whites are prized as they consist entirely of sweet buds. These teas are minimally processed in two steps – withering and drying.
Steeped white tea is delicate, extremely refreshing, and considered to contain less caffeine. The leaves will open to fresh floral, herbaceous, naturally sweet, and honey-like flavors. A stronger cup can be attained by extending the steep time.
