Large Leaf White Tea

Chinese Name:

古树白茶 

Gushu White

Background Description

This big leaf, white tea is full of complex, woody sweetness and has a super syrupy texture, like no other that we've tried. The leaves are picked from the gushu (ancient tree) gardens of the Li family in Gaoshan Village, Yiwu, before being sun dried on bamboo baskets. This tea also has a couple years of age on it, for extra depth and complexity and can be infused many times, it even works well grandpa style with the leaves simply soaking in a glass of hot water! It’s a brew that’s sure to leave you with a calm, glowing feeling.
