Product description

This Yiwu Ancient White Tea comes from the legendary Yi Wu Xishuangbanna tea region in southern Yunnan. The leaves are harvested from ancient Gushu tea trees, some of which are several centuries old – the same trees normally used for top-quality Pu-erh.

Unlike classic white teas from Fujian, this tea is made from the large-leaf Assamica variety. However, the processing follows traditional white tea methods: gentle withering and slow drying without roasting or fermentation. The result is a white tea with exceptional depth, structure, and inner calm.

The loose leaf quality allows for particularly fine control of the tea's development during infusion and enables its maturation potential to be monitored over many years.

Taste & Character

The tea is clear and robust when brewed. Its texture is full-bodied, velvety, and slightly oily , underpinned by a deep, natural sweetness.

Floral notes of wildflowers and orchid mingle with honey, ripe fruit (peach, apricot), and a delicate, cooling freshness in the finish. No aggressive bitterness – instead, length, balance, and a distinctly noticeable Huigan character . A white tea with the soul of Yiwu.

What makes this tea special

• Leaf material from approximately 800-year-old Gushu tea trees

• Originating from Yiwu , one of China's most prestigious tea regions

• White tea processing from Assamica leaves – extremely rare

• Loose quality with great expression & maturation potential

• Very limited production , as Yiwu leaves are mostly used for Pu-erh.

Fairy Leaves stands for consciously selected teas from Yunnan – transparent in origin, calm in expression and with respect for time, nature and craftsmanship.
