White Pearl - White Tea 50g
For white pearl two leaves and a bud are plucked, carefully rolled into pearls and then left to dry in the open air.
Making this tea requires great skill as the leaves must be rolled without breaking otherwise the tea will ferment, making a black rather than a white tea.
The pearls unfurl while infusing to give a mellow, delicate brew. The cup is a pale gold and possess a slight sweetness.
Suitable for multiple infusions.
