This tea is a further gem from the treasure chest of Chinese specialties.  Named for its silvery backed leaves and buds which produce a simmering pale apricot cup with floral notes and a mild stone fruit flavour offset by a subtle spiciness.  

For more than 100 years, this tea has been produced in the southeast of the Chinese high mountains. Traditionally hand plucked, this tea is fermented for a very short time to preservice its 'green soul'.

Allow to brew for a little longer than green tea and enjoy as special treat at any time of day.  Our delicate China White Snow Buds also pairs well with light foods.

Region & Growing Info

China

China is the world's largest producer of tea, offering diverse types including green, black, oolong, white, and Pu-erh. Famous regions include Zhejiang, home of our Dragon Well Lung Ching green tea, known for its fresh and nutty flavour. Yunnan produces rich Pu-erh with earthy, aged qualities. Fujian is famous for oolong teas like Tie Guan Yin, offering floral, creamy notes. Each region imparts distinct flavours from unique climates and terroirs.

China's tea culture is rich with tradition, emphasising handcrafting and meticulous processing methods. Green teas such as Lung Ching are pan-fried while Oolong teas are primarily hand-rolled. Pu-erh undergoes fermentation, creating a robust, earthy profile. China's commitment to organic and sustainable farming is growing, with many regions producing eco-friendly teas. The country’s vast landscape ensures a variety of flavours, from delicate, floral flavours to bold and distinguished flavours.
