Wild Arbor Buds
Although this amazing tea is pu’er leaf buds, it is best described and prepared as a white tea since it is picked in the spring and sundried. No other processing takes place.
The liquor is clear and the flavor is sweet and floral with hints of pine. Complex flavors and yet so simple to enjoy. Mild and pleasant. This tea is rare and beautiful, as fresh as spring! Learn more about white tea here.
This tea ages very well and we store it here with our pu’er teas. This is a wonderful example of a tea that will change and deepen in flavor over time. We recommend storing it airtight for the first year and then opening to the air for further aging as you would a pu'er tea.
Such an incredibly giving tea, you will steep this over and over again, easily getting 10 or more steeps per session!
