product description

Ancient Tree White Tea 古树白茶, harvested from ancient trees of Lincang, Yunnan, that are over 500 years old. Grown high in mountain forests, these deep-rooted trees draw rich nutrients from untouched soil, producing leaves that are delicate yet full of character.

With each infusion, this tea reveals layers of floral sweetness, gentle earthiness, and a lingering honey-like finish. Naturally smooth and calming, it is the perfect companion for tea meditation, mindful moments, or to unwind.

  • Flavour: Soft, sweet, and velvety with subtle fruit undertones

  • Rich in antioxidants and gentle on the body

  • Sustainably sourced from Yunnan’s pristine mountains (pesticide and chemical free)

  • Tea leaves picked once a year between March - April (spring harvest)

Perfect pairing with our Gaiwan Tea Set
