This tea is made from fine, select buds that are carefully picked and processed by hand. It produces a bright and crisp liquor with fresh, smooth, delicately herbaceous flavours. This particular batch was picked 5 April 2023.<\/p>\n<p>You may also be interested in our early spring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.curioustea.com\/tea\/green-tea\/an-ji-ming-qian-bai-cha\/\">Ming Qian An Ji Bai Cha<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>An Ji Bai Cha is sometimes mistakenly described as a white tea. While &#8216;Bai Cha (\u767d\u8336)&#8217; does translate as <em>white tea<\/em>, this only refers to the appearance of the leaf of the tea plant rather than the tea type. In reality, this is a delicate green tea.<\/p>\n<p>The leaves of the cultivar that is utilised for An Ji Bai Cha do have a distinct white appearance when picked and when brewed. This quality has even earned these tea types an <em>albino tea<\/em> nickname. The cultivar known as Bai Ye No. 1 (\u767d\u53f6\u4e00\u53f7) has only been used in making this tea since 1982, when the white &#8216;mother bush&#8217; was discovered in Anji County. While there are legends about white tea bushes going back about 1,000 years in Chinese tea folklore, An Ji Bai Cha is the first known <em>albino tea<\/em> that was actually produced.<\/p>\n<p>The leaves of this An Ji Bai Cha are long, thin and very fine. They consist of buds plus 1-2 small, young thin leaves. When brewed, it is very easy to see that the leaves have a much lighter, almost white colour. The liquor produced is bright, clear, with a light yellow-green colour and a herbaceous, savoury brassica aroma. It has a smooth and crisp character with a verdant profile. The taste is herbaceous, savoury, lightly vegetal and grassy. There are nutty, umami notes and a hint of oily herbs like sage and rosemary. The aftertaste is creamy-smooth, without astringency or bitterness. This is a light and delicate tea that nevertheless delivers plenty of complex flavours.<\/p>\n<p>This An Ji Bai Cha green tea is best brewed at 80\u00b0C for about 2 minutes according to your taste and can be brewed multiple times. Due to delicate nature we suggest using good quality spring water to get the best out of this tea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Ji Bai Cha is a famous green tea from Anji County of Zhejiang Province that consists solely of select buds.
