This year’s edition of White Crow maintains the same great qualities as previous years, including pleasant florals, a touch of hay, and a honey-like sweetness. This is all despite an unplanned change in the source material, which now comes from Bangdong (still Lincang). This change was a means to maintain the same quality, and in side-by-side comparisons with the ’23 and ’24 pressings, was difficult to distinguish. If anything, this year’s tea is an improvement, offering a creamier texture and wildflower fragrance. As with previous years, this tea performs well for multiple gongfu infusions, as well as boiled on the stove, and is well suited for drinking now or storing for the future. $0.14/gram Picking Period: Autumn 2025 Region: Bangdong, Yunnan
