Anji Bai Cha

From the look of the dried leaves, the longer, darker twig-like needles suggest that things will be different this time. Resilient and unceasing in its brews, it surprises with a fresh grassiness, young and raw, evoking its Xiamushan origins. The body is vibrant and light, carrying flavors of slightly blanched greens like broccolini and bok choy, with a hint of citrus pepper. Before being swept up in the new, the familiar delicate sweetness of bamboo shoots appears, to remind of its tradition and a promise of the next brew.
