Da Xue Shan Wild White Tea is one of our staple products. Every year, we specially order the raw materials and finish them using our unique processing methods.
Wild tea is extremely rare, and there is fierce competition among traders to obtain the raw leaves. Money alone cannot solve the problem — relationships with villagers are crucial. We work with a farming couple dedicated to production, who stay in the village throughout the season to collect the raw materials.
In the village at the foot of the mountain, people enter the mountains early in the morning to harvest wild tea leaves and return by evening. Arriving at the village in the evening makes it nearly impossible to obtain raw leaves, as other traders would have already taken them. According to the couple, they arrive at the site early in the morning and wait for the raw leaves to come in while sharing meals with the villagers' families.
Flavor Reminiscent of Fresh and Sweet Tomatoes
Our Da Xue Shan Wild White Tea comes in both loose-leaf and cake tea forms. The loose-leaf version features a floral flavor reminiscent of Shine Muscat grapes, flowers, and wild vegetables. It was procured last spring and is already available for sale.
The recently arrived cake tea, on the other hand, has a fruity flavor reminiscent of white tomatoes and dried grapes, owing to the slight fermentation that occurs during cake tea production. This tea is well suited to long-term aging, developing a honey-like flavor over time.
As wild tea, it grows entirely untouched by human hands, resulting in very high cell density and a rich mineral content. This gives the tea a very deep aftertaste, with a long-lasting, full-bodied flavor and aroma.
Aromatic White Tea Made from Wild Camellia taliensis
Da Xue Shan Wild White Tea is made from wild Camellia taliensis that grows naturally on Da Xue Shan in Lincang, Yunnan Province, China. It is extremely rare and almost never seen even within Yunnan Province.
The tea has an exceptionally strong flavor, evoking flowers, fruits, wild vegetables, and young tree bark, with a sweetness so intense it could be mistaken for a flavored tea. It features a deep body and a spreading, full richness.
The aftertaste is very deep, providing a relaxing feeling even when drunk normally, with some people experiencing tea-induced euphoria.
