Infusions: 4

White tea from Yunnan Province made from the long-leafed cultivar Assamica. Thanks to its long leaves and manufacturing process, including natural wilting and drying, the tea boasts an elevated level of oxidation, hence its colour is darker than white teas from other cultivars. A high content of top buds lends it an infusion that is sweetish in aroma. Initially, its taste is slightly juicy but it gradually develops hints of walnut and hazelnut.

Preparation guidelines: Allow 1 teaspoon of tea for each 1.5 dl of water and one more for the teapot. Bring the water to the boil and then let it cool down to 85°C. Pour and leave it to infuse for 5 minutes. Sieve and serve. Suitable for 4 infusions.
