The albino cultivar that lends this tea its name was discovered only relatively recently, but quickly gained popularity due to it’s the delate and pale brew it produces. Known for a distinctive cucumber note, this one’s roasting brings the nutty and almost berry-like sweetness of fresh cornbread more to the fore, while the slight spiciness of green peppercorn lingers in the background. With a silky, mouth-filling texture, it offers itself as the perfect quenching tea: soothing texture with just enough flavor to stimulate the senses.
For best results brew in a tall glass and fill with water before adding the leaves. Too high water temperature would burn the leaves, and the tea will taste bitter and sour.
