شاي أبيض باي مو دان – معتق 3 سنوات

The three-year aging really smooths out the usual grassy notes of white tea, giving each cup a mellow, honeyed sweetness. I’ve been brewing it at a lower temperature and letting it steep longer, and the results are consistently delicate and full-flavored.

I’ve been steeping this tea a little longer than usual, and the flavor deepened into a smooth, almost honeyed richness without any bitterness. The leaves themselves are surprisingly intact after three years of aging.

The liquor poured a pale honey color and had none of the grassy notes I sometimes get with young white teas—just a round, mellow sweetness. Three years of aging really smooths out the edges.
