Anji Bai Cha

When translated “Anji Bai Cha”, it means “white tea from Anji (a province in eastern China)” – but it is actually a green tea. The name is because the leaves appear almost white before they are picked. They come from trees that were thought to exist only in legends – but a few specimens of the trees were found in the 1980s. The leaves are very long, slender and needle-shaped, and in the cup they are light green, as if they came straight from the tree.

Anji Bai Cha has the essential taste of "high mountain" teas: Aroma of fresh grass, asparagus, beans, orchid and honey. Fresh and exquisite, long vegetal aftertaste with notes of flowers. Mild and well-balanced.

Advanced brewing tips: Whilst green tea has a general brewing guide, every type of tea is has its individual character so once you get to know the tea you can adapt the parameters to suit the tea's and your preference.
Note that cooler water will bring out more sweetness/softness in the tea but will need slightly longer infusion to achieve a more flavoursome brew. Following this logic hotter water will bring out stronger flavours faster. Also higher tea to water ratio will give more strength.
Porcelain and glass vessels have a neutral flavour and so you will get the most 'honest' result from your brew and is most recommend for brewing green tea.
If you chose raw clay (unglazed) then Duan Ni (light grey/beige clay) vessels are most recommend from China. We can also suggest to try Tokoname clay teapots from Japan.
