Breaking away from the traditional white tea flavor profile dominated by small- to medium-leaf varieties, it quietly leads a revolution in taste complexity.

Like the soul of Fuding white tea — “withering” — Yunnan white tea naturally withers for 48 to 72 hours under strong sunlight and dry mountain winds at high altitude. Ultraviolet rays activate glycosidase enzymes, slowly releasing the tea’s internal components and brewing the signature wild honey aroma along with a gentle sun-dried scent.

After drying, the tea is lightly pressed into cakes — firm yet naturally formed, making it easy to store while preserving the leaf’s original elegance.

After six years of aging, the tea’s character has mellowed, its freshness deepened. The liquor is bright amber, the tea’s spirit calm yet profound, with a thick, smooth mouthfeel. Soft medicinal notes, honeyed sweetness, and jujube fragrance intertwine layer upon layer, leaving a lasting sweet aftertaste and a refreshing sensation in the throat.

Following in the footsteps of Pu’er, Yunnan once again presents the wild power of its primeval forests to the world as a bold new flavor signature. This aged white tea presents both a gentle challenge to traditional white tea systems and a true testament to Yunnan’s high mountain tea, redefining the value of white tea.
