Title: " Anji Baicha "
Translation: " White Tea from Anji "
Whale. 安吉白茶, pinyin ānjí báichá
Origin: Anji County (Chinese: 安吉县, pinyin ānjí xiàn), Huzhou City District (Chinese: 湖州, pinyin húzhōu), Zhejiang Province (Chinese: 浙江省, pinyin zhèjiāng shěng).
It was likely this green tea that Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty highly praised in his "Treatise on Tea" (1107), describing it as "green tea the color of white jade." This metaphor is explained by the fact that at winter temperatures (-10°C), the tea bush produces little chlorophyll, and harvesting occurs precisely in early spring, within 30 days before warmer weather, when the leaves begin to turn green.
Rediscovered and cultivated from the original plant in 1981 in Anji County, it is currently under protection.
Fresh, light, and incredibly delicious. It's especially rich in theanine, which has positive effects on the brain, including stress reduction and enhanced cognitive function.

When dry, the tea has a subtle and delicate aroma, in which notes of wildflowers, blooming spring trees, pumpkin seeds, and green peas are easily discernible.
The brewed tea has a delicate and light flavor. It offers notes of sweet green peas, pumpkin, and wildflowers after rain. By the third steeping, the green peas begin to dominate the taste, with notes of mown grass intensifying.
The aftertaste at the end of the tea session is sweet, moderately tart. The palate reveals hints of wildflowers and dried fruits.
To brew An Ji Bai Cha tea, use water no hotter than 80-85°C. Use no more than 3-4 grams of dry tea leaves per 150 ml porcelain gaiwan or flask. This tea can be steeped up to five times, and the resulting infusion is light green, clear, and transparent.
An Ji Bai Cha green tea has a mild tonic effect. Its benefits include its ability to cool the body and quench thirst. It promotes a calm, meditative state. Recommended for summer consumption.
