A lovely old arbor (古树白茶) white tea cake made from second flush of spring 2019 tea harvested from 80-300 year old tea trees in Man Gang village (Bang Dong, Lincang).

We have been working closely with a family in Man Gang for several years now and have asked them to help us pick and process a white tea (also a tea flowers white tea and a black tea) from their old arbor family tea garden! The result is a lightly processed and sun-dried white tea that is delicious to drink, sweet and thick, aromatic, and bubbling with cha qi!

This lovely tea was pressed into a 250 gram tea cake with a medium+ level of compression to lock in the aroma and flavors of tea, allowing for a gradual aging over time. You can store like you would a pu-erh cake (and can be stored alongside raw pu-erh or black tea cakes), or if you prefer it to stay the way it is you can seal it up. Ideally a clay jar or wooden box with some/minimal air flow would be best!

Net Weight: 250 grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo leaf tong)
Harvest time: May 2019 (2nd flush)
Harvest Area: Man Gang village, Bang Dong county, Lincang Prefecture
Total Production amount: 100 kilograms

Great buy

"Considering buying a whole cake after purchasing a sample. Very delicate floral taste at first, some fruits in later steeps. Lasts 8-10 steeps."

— Alexey P. (5/5)

Very nice white tea

"I tried the 2020 man gang gu shu black tea from the same place and found it to be great, so thought I would give this a try as well. I brewed it at 90C starting at a 30s steep. This tea has a lovely combination of a strong honey flavour, a robust fruitiness (I get figs and perhaps a bit of orange) and a lingering florality. There is also a little bit of woodiness starting to creep in which I suppose might be the beginning of aging (since I am drinking this 2 years post harvest). Overall very pleasant. Very tempted to get a cake of this even though I already own way too much tea!"

Soft and pleasant

"I'm mostly raw pu-erh drinker, and this is my first white tea. I'm definitely pleased with this cake, a can say that it is very soft and gentle tea. You can drink it in the evening safely without anxiety to have insomnia."

Happy wit my purchase

"Happy wit my purchase"

Gentle yet powerful

"This Gu Shu white tea does what you would expect. It's a savory yet potent tea. Wet leaf smells like sweets, brown sugar with some light roasted nuts, and some rozes mixed in. The taste was a delicate, sweet roses with a light orange aftertaste - later steeps evolve the taste into buttercaramel and honey. Brewing at 90 degrees Celsius, it gives a good balance between sweetness and astringency, the liquor is not very thick textured though. I get a slight tingle on my tongue and an enjoyable tea high, energised feeling. I very much enjoyed this tea, it's one to cherish!"
