Bai Hao Yin Zhen
"White hairy silver needles" - the best and most famous Chinese white tea, which belongs to the list of the best Chinese teas ever.
It first appeared around 1796. Young, richly hairy and large strong tips of the tea tree of the Fu Ding Da Bai Cha cultivar are used to produce this tea. Harvesting takes place only during a very short period in spring, and only in nice weather.
The real Bai Hao Yin Zhen has all four valuables of Chinese tea really wonderful. Undeveloped buds of the same size, hairy like a willow. The scent of dry leaf has sweet tones of flower pollen, the freshness of the mountain wind and the sweetness of morning dew. The infusion is almond yellow to orange. The taste is clean, sweet, light and tender, with a thin spring energy.
Yue Guang Bai “White Moonlight”
"White moonlight" - known as 'white pu-erh' - a special green (sheng) pu-erh with a difference in processing, where the leaves are allowed to fade at night after harvest, instead of in the sun, as is usual in maocha. A large proportion of dull silvery, large hairy tips gives the tea an attractive appearance.
The color of the infusion is yellowish and smells mostly of herbs with a little fruit. The taste is sweet, very complex and develops with each subsequent infusion, with a bit of bitterness gradually appearing and encouraging the distinctive flavors typical of green (sheng) pu-erhas.
