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.”
