Features of Bai Hao Extra tea
Quality of raw materials
Bai Hao Extra is made from select raw materials, including tender buds (tips) and young tea leaves. This raw material imparts a distinctive softness, sweetness, and refinement to the tea. The tea leaves undergo careful fermentation using the Shu Pu'er method, imparting a rich flavor and deep aroma.
Appearance
The tea leaves are dark brown with golden flecks of tips. The leaves are evenly fermented, indicating high-quality processing. The loose leaf form of the tea makes it convenient to brew and allows for better control over the strength of the infusion.
Aroma
Dry tea has a deep, rich aroma with notes of nuttiness, wood, caramel, and a slight earthiness. When warmed in a hot teapot, the aroma intensifies, revealing vibrant lotus flower tones and a light minty freshness. Wet leaves are complemented by pleasant camphor notes. After steeping, the aroma unfolds, adding hints of dried fruit, chocolate, and sweet spice.
Taste
The taste of Bai Hao Extra tea is soft and velvety. The infusion has a rich dark brown color with ruby highlights. The flavor is dominated by warm notes of nuts, caramel, dried fruits, and a slight woody bitterness. The finish is long, with pleasant sweet and spicy undertones.
Energy and Impact
Shu Pu-erh "Bai Hao Extra" has a warming effect and promotes relaxation. This tea is ideal for the colder months and for those who appreciate a calm and meditative tea experience.
Brewing recommendations
For brewing Bai Hao Extra loose leaf shu pu-erh, we recommend steeping in a gaiwan or Yixing clay teapot. The water temperature should be around 95–100°C. The initial steeps should be short (5–10 seconds) to reveal the aroma and avoid excessive bitterness. Gradually, the steeping time can be increased. The tea can withstand up to 8–10 steeps, each of which reveals new facets of flavor.
Shu Pu'er "Bai Hao Extra" is a tea that combines a rich flavor, deep aroma, and abundant energy. Its exceptional quality and refinement make it a true treasure for pu'er connoisseurs.
