An exquisitely fruity and floral white tea with notes of mango, vanilla and elderflower. A beautifully light tea with almost no astringency but rich in flavour.

Ethereal

This was my first voyage into white tea and what a treat. Subtle while notably tasting of tea, the surprise being that there is no after taste. Each sip is to be enjoyed in that moment. Exquisite.

A sublime tea experience

This is truly a tea to savour. Delicate and so refreshing. Re-infusing the leaves for a second or even third time develops fresh nuances of flavour. A favourite

Tasting Notes

Silky texture with fruity and floral notes of mango, vanilla, violet and elderflower.
Almost like a very elegant Solero ice lolly.

Temperature

For the optimum infusion use 75°C (167°F) water.

Time

Infuse for 2 minutes, tasting regularly.

Infusions

You can infuse this tea at least three times. With each careful infusion, different subtleties of flavour are revealed.

Cost Per Cup

80p per cup based on 2g of tea per 150ml of water and 3 infusions.

If you have tried white tea in a teabag you may be forgiven for thinking our description is pure hyperbole.

But this is nothing like an industrial white tea, and it really goes beyond what you might expect from even the best loose leaf white tea we have ever tried.

You can taste the pure terroir of the Jun Chiyabari Tea Garden. This non-intervention farm is so rich in clean air, fertile soil, biodiversity and love.

Delicately plucked at the very start of the spring first flush, just as the bushes come out of their quiet winter period when they stop growing and bide their time until the warmth returns to the mountains.

Jun Chiyabari is the highest tea garden that we work with, and the spring growth is slow to emerge but when it does, it brings with it exceptional flavour. There is an incredible intensity to this loose leaf white tea, that will simply knock your socks off.

Not only does this sublime white tea make a delicious hot tea, but it also works beautifully to make a cold infused iced tea. Cold infusion tea (also known as cold brew tea) allows only the sweetest flavours to dissolve. It does take patience but 6 to 7 grams (0.21 to 0.25oz) left to steep in cold water in the fridge overnight will make the most refreshing loose leaf breakfast tea, calorie-free and rich in antioxidants.
