yunnan pu erh white
by adagio teas
(7 reviews)
White buds from old Yunnan Pu Erh trees are used to created this delicate new form of Pu Erh. While a 2012 harvest, these leaves are fermented in the traditional style but only using unopened fuzzy leaf buds. The result is a Silver Needle-like delicate cup but with notes of wildflower honey and classic Yunnan pepper. Steep at 195°F for 5 minutes

Not really a tea I drink by itself, but I love blending this into black or oolong teas to give the flavor a little different complexity. :)

Leaves are so fuzzy! Tea is soft and round with a very light and non-distinct fruitiness.

Wow! Is it white tea, or a pu erh? It's both! it seems contradictory to have these two styles together, but it really works! It has the look of Silver Needle--with the big gorgeous fuzzy buds--but the predominant taste is of a light, peppery pu erh, without any fishy or musty aroma. It's lovely. I never would have bought this for myself because of the price, but a dear tea friend gifted it to me. I will hoard my beautiful little tin and save this one for special occasions! (190/5 minutes)

Surprisingly good for a pu-ehr tea. It’s light and buttery but with a tartness too.

This tea was just okay for me. A little less flavor for me than your usual white teas are. Also, I didn't pick up any fragrance from the leaves. Definitely the lightest Pu erh tea that I have tried though!
