White Monkey Tea (Bai Mao Hou)
Embark on a sensory journey with the exquisite Bai Mao Hou White Monkey Tea, a treasure hailing from the enchanting Fujian Province of China. Crafted from a cultivar dedicated primarily to white teas, this rare gem presents a harmonious fusion of flavors. Upon the first sip, discover the tea's sweet, woody essence, delicately layered with hints of fresh herbs and a subtle peppery undertone.
These nuances gracefully give way to lingering notes of honey, creating a symphony of flavors that culminates in a smooth, mellow finish. Sourced from the misty Taimu Mountains, Bai Mao Hou is born from the first two weeks of the harvest season, capturing the vibrant essence of early spring. Each leaf and tender bud is meticulously handpicked, then carefully steamed and dried to preserve its exquisite subtlety. Legend says the tea's name honors its unique appearance—the dried leaves delicately resemble the paw of a white-haired monkey.
