Fresh 2025 Yunnan White Tea – Select Your Favourite Lot Before Blending
- [2025.07.18] Posted By Akira Hojo
Freshly crafted in Yunnan and just arrived in KL, our new 2025 white tea is now available at our Gardens Mall shop.
This year, you can taste and choose your preferred micro lot right at the counter. Come and explore the differences, and bring home the one that speaks to you.
2025 Fresh White Tea, Just Arrived and Ready to Taste
Everyone who tasted our freshly-made white tea this year said the same thing.
“Wow, it’s so green.”
“It tastes so fresh, like it was just plucked.”
These are exactly the kinds of comments we would like to hear.
They reflect the real charm of freshly made white tea.
Every spring, we spend weeks in Yunnan, working directly with farmers to produce our own tea. That’s why we know exactly how it tastes right after it’s made, when the aroma is still vibrant and the character remains as it is.
Our goal is simple. To deliver the freshly made taste of tea, something rarely experienced once tea travels far or sits too long.
Through careful processing, immediate shipment, and improved packaging this year, we’re satisfied to say that we’ve preserved that freshness.
This year, you have a rare chance to taste and compare each white tea lot before blending, just like professionals do at origin.
Why This Year’s White Tea Is So Special
White tea can only reach its ideal quality when processed in cool and dry weather. If the temperature is too warm or humidity is higher during withering, especially in the stems, it can lead to over-fermentation (enzymatic oxidation), resulting in a musty smell or sourness that affects the overall purity of the tea.
Fortunately, from late March to mid-April this year, the weather in the mountains of Yunnan was dry, cool, and no rain at all. It was perfect for producing ideal-quality white tea with a clean, floral aroma and a naturally sweet finish.
On top of that, we’ve made significant improvements to our packaging and shipping so that the tea retains its fragrance even after arriving in Malaysia.
We Don’t Just Buy Tea — We Make It Ourselves
Many brands usually buy ready-made teas from producers.
We take a different approach. Every spring, we spend weeks in Yunnan, working side by side with farmers and managing every step from harvest to drying.
This is tea we’ve crafted together with the people who grow it, based on a deep understanding of its character and potential.
Single-Lot White Tea — A Rare Chance to Taste the Garden’s True Character
The farmer we work with owns several small tea gardens scattered across the mountains, each with its own microclimate, soil, and old trees grown from different seed origins. That means the tea leaves from each garden have their own aroma, shape, and moisture level.
Most producers blend all the raw materials together before shipping, but we process each garden’s harvest separately, and manage them by individual lot.
This is possible because we stay on site during the production season and personally oversee the management of each lot.
Now that these lots have arrived in KL, we invite you to our Gardens Mall shop, where you can taste and compare each batch side by side. Each lot has a different character.
Choose Before Blending — This Is a Rare Opportunity
We plan to blend these individual lots to create our Ancient Tree White.
But now, before blending, you have the rare chance to taste and choose your favourite lot.
This experience is only available at our Gardens Mall shop. You can reserve your selected lot for purchase.
It’s a once-a-year opportunity, and not available online.
