Anji Bai Cha Green Tea | Pre-Qing Ming

Other names: Anji White Tea

Anji Bai Cha is a beautiful tea in every sense. The leaves are long, delicate and a bright vivid green, the scent has notes of citrus and nuts, and the taste is a complex mix of tangy fresh and creamy soft. The liquor is a lively pale green with the bright clarity of a classic high-grown mountain tea.

Our Buyer’s notes
“Anji Bai Cha is the first and the only white tea tree variety that was recorded in the Chinese tea literature of the Song Dynasty (960–1279 AD). This is a "Hong Qing Lu Cha" (‘baked to dry green tea’) and contains large proportions of antioxidants, almost twice as much as other green teas. It also contains high levels of selenium (also found in Brazil nuts), making for a super healthy tea.”
