Hou Kui Bai Cha 2017

A white tea that is produced from a later harvest of the same trees that are being used for the genuine Taiping Houkui - hence a bit of an extravagant thing. Three leves are being harvested for this tea, the bud has already opened, thus the leaves are similar to what is used for a Bai Mu Dan or even a Shou Mei (later harvest, fully grown leaves). The leaves have been left to wither over a long period and have then be dried over charcoal. The result is a large leafed, wonderful white tea. It has been kept in China until 2019 and can be drunk immediately as well as being kept.
