C. sinensis var. blended varieties; Menglian County, Pu’er City, Yunnan Province, 1400-1800m; Autumn, 2020, bud and 1 leaf, EU Organic, White tea process, unfixed; #TodaysTea#今天的茶#JīnTiāndeChá, #Tea#茶#Chá.

Large, dry two tone leaves, a high concentration of furry silver buds, with a noticeable aroma suggestive of juicy, semi-dried apricots.
The spongy wet leaves are aromatic, spicy, and vegetal, with an undertone of vanilla, and are a good mix of sage green and brown in colour.

3-4g of dry leaves were steeped in 150ml of water for 30-50sec@80-90deg. C. The brewed liquor is a light golden colour, with faint, indistinct aroma, and late suggestion of sweetness. In the mouth it is creamy, smooth, minty fresh, stimulating, sweet, and tastes pleasant, sweet, and floral, with a spicy fresh finish.
