White teas are slightly fermented and come from selected varietal tea bushes. The leaves of these varietals are slightly paler in color which is evident in the brewed infusion. Some leaves even have sight hairy down on them. White teas are particularly high in polyphenois.
This tea is a variety of Mao Feng, which in English means white downy tips, (“mao” means white down and “feng” means tips.) The production method involved 11 steps - 4 stages of frying, 3 stages of kneading, followed by 4 stages of baking.
This is a spectacular Chinese tea. Somewhat stronger than many other white teas - 100 Monkeys produces a profoundly complex cup. The leaves can be brewed a number of times and with each infusion subtle changes to the cup can be detected. This is truly one tea that you will wish to appreciate over and over.
