Wild Old White Tea 2016: A Treasure from the Wild
Wild Aged White Tea (Chinese: 荒野老白茶, pinyin: Huāngyě lǎo báichá) literally translates as "wild aged white tea"—a truly unique and valuable tea variety. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that its raw materials are collected from wild tea trees growing in remote, inaccessible areas of Yunnan Province. Aging for eight years gives this tea its unique, deep flavor and aroma.
The tea leaves for this cake were harvested in 2016. The wild tea trees from which they were collected grow in harsh mountain conditions, imparting a unique strength and energy to the tea. After harvesting, the leaves were minimally processed to preserve all the beneficial substances and natural flavor.
Why is it so valuable?
- Package: The cake is wrapped in paper with a picture of a mountain landscape. This indicates that the tea was picked from tea trees growing in the mountainous regions of Yunnan Province, known for their favorable climate and soil.
- Rare variety: Wild white tea is one of the rarest and most valuable tea varieties in the world. Its production is limited, as harvesting leaves from wild trees is a labor-intensive process.
- Aging: Aging for 8 years allowed the tea to acquire a softer, rounder taste and a complex aroma with notes of dried fruits, nuts and wood.
- Health benefits: Wild white tea is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. It helps strengthen the immune system, improve digestion, and reduce stress.
