Anji Bai Cha 2023

The perfect quenching tea to stimulate the senses. This classic green tea is derived from a 'white' cultivar with reduced chlorophyll, resulting in bright, yellowy leaves. Dried to twig-like needles, the application of hot water lets them swell and release a characteristic cucumber taste. This vintage complements it with the sweet and vegetal aroma of young bamboo shoots and the stimulating acidity of lemon verbena, refreshing but leaving a ghost of its aroma in the aftertaste.
