Suoi Giang White Shan tea 200gr

What is Suoi Giang White Shan Tea?

• “Bach” means White.
• “Shan” means Mountain.

Suoi Giang is the name of the commune where young tea buds are harvested.

White Shan Tea from Suoi Giang is a type of tea made from one bud and one adjacent young leaf picked from ancient tea trees over 300 years old. These wild trees have been domesticated and cultivated by local people.

The tea is called White Shan Tea because it is harvested from high mountains. The tea buds have a fine layer of white fuzz, which remains after drying and gives the tea leaves a snowy white appearance. When brewed, the tea produces a crystal-clear, white-colored liquor. Despite its seemingly light appearance, the tea has an unforgettable aroma and taste even from the first sip.

Aroma and Flavor
When brewed, Suoi Giang White Shan Tea emits a sweet, nutty scent reminiscent of young rice and wildflowers, which is very soothing. The tea has a mild astringency, a subtle sweetness, and a refreshing taste that lingers pleasantly in the mouth, leaving a feeling of relaxation and comfort.

Suoi Giang’s Unique Environment
Located in the Suoi Giang mountains, this region is enveloped in mist year-round. Winters are cold, and summers are cool, creating the perfect conditions for tea trees to develop their distinct, sweet flavor.

The ancient tea trees, considered the ancestors of all tea trees globally, grow freely on steep cliffs and rugged terrain, often reaching heights that dwarf nearby houses. Tea harvesting is seasonal, occurring only in spring and autumn, and is regarded as the most challenging step in tea production.

Harvested buds are carefully transported to the factory the same day to prevent damage and maintain their freshness. Using modern processing techniques, the tea is crafted to achieve its best appearance, aroma, and taste.

When brewed, Suoi Giang White Shan Tea retains its snowy white fuzz, producing a clear, white liquor unlike the golden or green tones of other teas. Its distinct flavor combines mild astringency, deep sweetness, and a smooth, creamy aftertaste. A single sip is enough to leave a lasting impression.
