Description:

Unlike regular white teas harvested from young tea plants, Ancient Premium Shan Snow White Tea - Arbor Tea Tree - Dried Incense is selected from 100% ancient tea leaves aged 300-500 years, growing at altitudes above 2300m in Hoang Su Phi. These ancient tea trees grow completely naturally, without fertilizers or chemicals, absorbing mountain dew, cold sunlight, and pristine soil for hundreds of years.

As a result, the tea buds from these ancient trees have significantly higher nutritional content, thicker leaves, a rich flavor, a delicate and profound aroma, and contain more natural minerals – something no young tea can match.

Especially, this white tea is only harvested in winter, when temperatures drop. This is when the tea buds accumulate the most nutrients, their growth slows down over the years, resulting in a richer flavor, freedom from pests and diseases, and no bitterness.

This resource is extremely rare because it is harvested only once a year, and production is limited by the number of old trees and harvesting permits.

Flavor:

After being naturally withered, the tea leaves are hand-dried, preserving their bright silvery color and the essential oils in the tea buds. This technique helps the tea retain: the original aroma of ancient tea leaves, a clean, non-harsh taste, a sweet aftertaste that lingers in the throat, evoking the subtle and profound flavors of the mountains and forests, and a long-lasting aroma when brewed, allowing for 5-7 infusions.
