PEAR & ELDER TEA OF LIFE WHITE TEA

This special white tea, grown in the high mountains of Zhen He, is our most popular variety. It comes from the heart of the very small harvest. It first came to our attention over 20 years ago when research published in Germany claimed it to have an energising, revitalising effect. Our research in the field since then would seem to back this up! White tea is of course now widely renowned for its very high levels of antioxidants. In addition to this, I think the unique processing of this particular type, which is lightly steamed then merely sun-dried, also lends it an extra special quality. A great deal of the main crop now goes to the cosmetic industry where its antioxidants are extracted for use in a face cream. It is mellow and honey sweet in the cup with a lovely pale amber appearance. The flavour of sweet, juicy pear and the floral notes of elderflower complement each other and the mild character of the tea. It can be brewed for a very long time without losing its delightful flavour.
