I put a kilo of this tea in my last YS order as a white tea aging experiment. I somewhat enjoy fresh white tea, but I’ve really liked the tastes of the aged whites that I’ve had, and I thought it would be fun to watch this one transform over the years.
Flavors of dry grass and flowers, peach, and fresh herbs like basil or thyme. It has a minty cooling quality that lingers in the mouth. Somewhat malty, but certainly different than black tea type malt. Very tasty! It may prove harder than I expected to leave this one alone and let it age, though the kilo should last me quite a while.

High quality white tea is a real treat. I was considering purchasing some of this one, as I prefer the Fujian whites to the Yunnan ones, but I purchased a 250g of baimudan from Wuyi Origin because it’s the best white tea I’ve ever purchased. I will add some of YS’s Fuding white tea to my next order just to compare.
Sounds good! I haven’t ordered from Wuyi Origin yet, but I’ve been thinking about it
Ack I missed the WO one when I made the order, should have got some
I think high quality white tea is one of the rarer treats of the western tea drinker. It’s really easily overlooked because of the lack of hype. This keeps the prices lower, through!
