Spring Essence Buds is a remarkable white tea, carefully handpicked in early spring from ancient tea trees deeply rooted in Vietnam's highlands. Each silvery bud, adorned with a fine layer of down, captures the purity and vitality of the season’s first harvest. This tea is meticulously crafted to preserve its natural shape and essence, offering an unparalleled sensory journey.

When brewed, this exquisite tea unveils a pale golden liquor with a soft floral aroma and a lingering, gentle sweetness. Spring Essence Buds embodies the tranquillity and renewal of spring, making it a perfect companion for moments of mindfulness and relaxation.

The first infusion releases a delicate aroma that dances on the surface, inviting patience and appreciation. As you sip, the intricate layers of fragrance and flavour gradually unfold, offering a deeply rewarding experience. By the fourth infusion, as the silvery hairs on the buds soften and unfurl, the water begins to penetrate the leaves, unveiling even richer nuances of taste and texture. Spring Essence Buds is a tea that rewards patience, revealing its true beauty one sip at a time.

Producing White tea

Picking -> Withering -> Drying
Aged White Tea: A Rising Trend Since around 2012, aged white tea has gained popularity for its unique flavour profile. As it ages, the tea develops a smoother, more complex taste, making it highly sought after—and increasingly expensive—among tea enthusiasts.

White tea storage

White tea isn't fired, so its enzymes stay active. In a humid environment, the tea can age and develop richer flavors over time. For those wanting to preserve its original taste, store it in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.
