Osmanthus Anji White Tea, 0.88 OZ

About This Product: Our osmanthus Anji White Tea combines the pleasant aromatic scent of Osmanthus flower with the mild and incredibly unique taste of Anji White tea, known as Anji Bai Cha (Chinese: 安吉白茶) in China. Anji White tea is a type of green tea cultivated in Anji county, Zhejiang Province, China only.

Ingredients and Flavor Profile: The tea is made of Anji White tea and osmanthus flower. The unpicked leaves of the white tea are more white than green due to the low amount of chlorophyll. This type of green tea was described by Lu Yu (Chinese: 陆羽), a famous poet in the Tang dynasty more than 1000 years ago, and the original mother tea plants were rediscovered in 1982 in Anji County of Zhejiang Province. The leaves are picked in late-March into early April, were then processed through multiple complicated steps, and finally pan-fried in a wok which brings out its mild and incredibly unique flavor of White tea. With the pleasant aroma added by the osmanthus flower, this tea results in a perfect balance of flavors that is both soothing and refreshing!
