Pretty green tea with a white tea name!
This tea resembles white tea and the name suggests the same (Bai Cha = white tea). This tea is produced as a green tea. The picking season is short, about 30 days can be harvested in early spring. Once the temperature rises, the leaves turn and brighter green color. The tea's name refers to its very light green long leaves.
The plant produces little chlorophyll (chlorophyll) and polyphenols (a series of natural chemicals that provide astringent in tea in particular) which makes the tea gray/light green in color. In addition, it is very rich in amino acids (provide transport of nutrients in our body)
This tea is also called Yu Feng, White Jade Phoenix tea. The taste is mild, refreshingly smooth with a rich umami flavor and a hint of the sweet fragrance of orchid in its aroma.
