Floralia 2026 Lincang Yabao White Tea

This Lincang yabao captures that early spring moment when the forest is just waking up. Wildflower fragrance and notes of young pine needles come through, alongside a touch of lychee. The floral character is prominent, backed by the amino acid brightness you get from fresh spring material. The tea is refreshing and easy to drink, with a clear soup that looks deceptively light for how much flavor it carries, which could easily be mistaken for water. Made from the buds of yet-to-be-formed branches, yabao differs from conventional tea with a different amino acid profile, as well as reduced caffeine content compared to proper tea made with leaves. In typical fashion, this yabao is processed in white tea style, maintaining a clean and approachable character. $0.13-0.18/gram Picking Period: January 2026 Region: Lincang, Yunnan
