White Tea from Hundred-Year-Old Trees in Lincang, Yunnan Province
Yunnan Province is home to wild tea known as Shancha. In early March, ethnic minority farmers hand-pluck the tea from the mountains.
While this tea belongs to the Camellia family, it is not Sinensis but another species. Through various studies, we believe it to be Camellia Assamica Dehongensis.
Although this tea is relatively well-known in northwestern Yunnan Province and can be sourced with effort, it varies significantly in quality and price.
I am particular about sourcing from Lincang because its tea has an exceptionally strong body and richness. When you drink it, the tea expands vertically and horizontally in your mouth.
The tea is very sweet and soft on the palate, and those who like it become very passionate about it. The flavor is a refreshing blend of floral and herbal notes, more like floral tea.
The infusion is very light, almost like water, but has a rich flavor and aroma.
This tea can be infused multiple times, making it very economical. Its inherently delicate flavor remains consistent through multiple infusions.
Therefore, it is possible to brew this tea continuously throughout the day.
