Beautifully made into a ball shape, each weighing between 6.5g-7g, this premium white tea, aged since 2012, offers a unique and exquisite taste experience. The aging process has enhanced its flavor profile, creating a harmonious blend of sweet chrysanthemum and subtle rock sugar notes, reminiscent of a serene garden.
To fully appreciate its delicate flavors, start by rinsing the tea ball with boiling water. For the first infusion, steep it for approximately 30 seconds in water heated to 195ºF (90ºC). This careful preparation method helps to gently coax out the intricate flavors. In a 100ml gaiwan, reduce the steeping time to a mere 5 seconds for the second infusion, and then increase the duration by an additional 5 seconds for each subsequent infusion, allowing the tea to gradually reveal its depth and complexity.
This exceptional white tea is capable of providing at least 12 delightful infusions. Each cup unveils an aromatic bouquet, akin to a refreshing flower delicately unfurling its petals. The aftertaste is particularly noteworthy, leaving a tantalizing sensation on the palate that makes your saliva dance with joy. The caffeine content, though present, is balanced in such a way that it imparts a soothing, calming effect, making this tea an ideal choice for enjoyment from midday through to the evening.
As you watch the tea ball gracefully expand, revealing the full beauty of its open white leaves, you'll be mesmerized by the natural sweetness and the longevity of the infusions, which can be savored for 1-2 hours. This tea is not just a beverage; it's an experience that engages all the senses, promising a journey of flavor and tranquility with each sip.
