Imperial Anji White Dragon (1/2oz), Pre-Qing Ming, Spring 2024

PLEASE NOTE: This tea is sold by the 1/2oz! The price above reflects this. This decision was made to allow more people to enjoy this high grade green tea!

Absolutely magical tea! Anji White Dragon is an expertly-processed green tea using the leaves of the famous anji bai cha varietal, but processing of the (possibly more famous) dragonwell! The taste is pure delight, with main notes of creamy macadamia nut, umami, and a light bitterness to counter the sweet finish! Perfect in every way to my palate, we have a very limited quantity...hoping to get more but I unfortunately can't promise it.

Pre-Qing Ming: Qing Ming is a festival held on the 15th day after the spring equinox in China (either April 4th or April 5th each year). Teas (in particular green teas) picked prior to this date are generally considered to be the highest quality harvest of the year. When tasting our Pre-Qing Ming teas, it's not hard to see why!
