Origin

Fujian, China

Imperial White is a calming white tea from Fujian province.  

Known as ‘Bai Cha’ in Chinese, white teas are made from the newly sprouted ‘buds’ of the tea plant. These buds have silvery white hair ‘down’ that provide a honey texture to the brew. In making white tea, the buds are ‘heat braised’ in covered pans or dried in direct sun. As a result there is little or no oxidization. 

Fujian

Fujian Province is situated along China’s southeastern coast. Fujian’s subtropical, marine climate is especially conducive to tea cultivation. The province has a 1,600 year history with tea. The earliest written record of tea production in Fujian is kept on a stone tablet at the ‘Lian Hua Feng’ (Lotus Peak) in Nan’an County.

Season

The young leaves of Imperial White are best in early spring. If stored well (airtight in dark, low humidity), the leaves retain flavor over time.

Flavor Profile

Light yellow color brew with vegetal taste and pine aroma.

The Tao of Tea

Like the Tao, the art of tea is universal. We began our work serving as a connecting thread for tea culture in 1997. Practicing this art on a daily basis in our teahouses in Portland, Oregon, we are a group of tea enthusiasts from different backgrounds and cultures. We travel, learn, take delight, and seek to offer-pure leaf teas with great flavor, artistry and soul.

Other Ingredients

White tea leaves.

Suggested use

Brewing

Brew two teaspoons of leaf in eight ounces of pure spring or filtered water at 175° F for four minutes. Provides at least two infusions.
