Overview
Pairing: stone fruit, roast chicken, or buttery pastries
Bai Hao’s signature quality is a sweet, floral hormone that is released by the tea plant when bitten by a jassid. This premier lot of Silver Tip is comprised solely of budsets which exhibit that jassid reaction. The only way to ensure this is for skilled pickers to use eyes and hands, plucking only young budsets which exhibit bites. Years ago, Mr. Teng, uncle of our Miaoli-based partner Ms. Teng, moved to Fujian to scale production and enjoy the highland, maritime climate of Dehua. He brings his forty-years of consistent, award-winning craftsmanship to innovating a new terroir for the style.
