While the reputation of Laomane puer tends to be characterized by its aggressive and bitter qualities, this white tea of the same origin throws those expectations out the window. While not particularly bitter, this tea is also anything but an ordinary Yunnan white tea, providing a step up for your palate from common white tea. Although a sugary quality is present, this tea doesn’t just lean on being another sweet white tea, demonstrating an exceptionally pleasant balance of flavours, as well as an impressive soup texture. This tea is a must for white tea lovers, but also an opportunity to compare the impact of processing style on source material. $0.19/gram
