Anji Bai Cha (White Leaf Green Tea) | Premium Huzhou Core Terroir-8.8oz/250g

The Miracle of Spring: Authentic Anji Bai Cha Discover one of the rarest and most fascinating treasures in the tea world: Anji Bai Cha (Anji White Tea). Sourced exclusively from the pristine, high-altitude bamboo forests of the core production area in Anji, Huzhou, this tea is a true botanical marvel. Despite its name, it is actually a highly prestigious green tea crafted from a rare, naturally mutating albino tea cultivar. Plucked only during a fleeting two-to-three-week window in early spring when the weather is cold enough to keep the leaves pale, this tea is the ultimate expression of handcrafted scarcity and the profound "time value" of nature.

The Leaves & The Liquor The breathtaking visual transformation of these leaves is a central part of the Anji Bai Cha tea ritual.

• The Dry Leaves: The expertly hand-processed leaves are needle-like, straight, and boast a striking pale, yellowish-green hue. They are beautifully intact and emit a gentle, sweet aroma of fresh spring rain and young bamboo.

• The Tea Liquor: Upon steeping, the liquor is exceptionally bright, clear, and pale green. As the leaves absorb the water, they undergo a stunning transformation—turning almost entirely translucent jade-white with highly visible green veins.

Tasting Notes Because the unique pale leaves contain almost zero chlorophyll during the harvest window, they produce exceptionally low levels of polyphenols (which cause bitterness) and staggering levels of amino acids—often two to three times higher than standard green teas.

• Aroma: A delicate, soaring fragrance of fresh bamboo forest, subtle wild orchids, and a comforting sweetness.

• Palate: A truly luxurious sensory experience. The texture is incredibly thick, brothy, and silky. It delivers a massive wave of savory sweetness (umami) with absolutely zero bitterness or astringency.

• Finish: A remarkably clean, gentle, and enduring sweet aftertaste (Hui Gan) that deeply nourishes and refreshes the palate.

Premium Presentation We believe a tea of this exquisite rarity deserves an aesthetic presentation to match. Carefully portioned to preserve its delicate, volatile spring aromatics, this tea is encased in sleek, minimalist silver individual boxes. Finished with a classic red artisan seal and elegant traditional calligraphy denoting its authentic Huzhou Anji core terroir, this packaging beautifully bridges modern luxury with ancient cultural heritage. It is a striking centerpiece for any collection and an unforgettable gift.

Recommended Brewing Guide (Glass Brewing Method) To fully appreciate the visual poetry of the pale leaves returning to life, we highly recommend brewing this tea in a transparent glass cup or teapot.

• Water Temperature: 80°C – 85°C (Crucial: Never use boiling water, as it will destroy the delicate amino acids that give this tea its legendary sweet umami flavor).

• Tea to Water Ratio: 1 single-serving box (approx. 3g to 5g) per 150ml–200ml of water.

• Steeping Time: Pour the warm water gently over the leaves. Watch as they elegantly unfurl, standing upright in the water like delicate white jade orchids. The first infusion is ready in about 1 to 2 minutes. This premium grade will gracefully yield 3 deliciously sweet infusions.
