Description
The finer grade sibling of our My Fair Lady Shoumei, this tea comes from the same certified organic material and has a healthy overlap in terms of flavour and fragrance. This tea diverges with less emphasis on texture and a more pronounced umami quality, thanks to the higher grade of picking.
This tea exhibits a pleasant floral quality that is crisp and unmuddied, with a nice sweetness that lasts in mouth.
Brewing-wise, these dragon balls can be a bit reluctant to open up. We recommend an extra rinse and/or longer steeps, if you feel the tea is too weak. If you’re not in a rush, allowing the leaves to cool and then continuing with your infusions can help it open a bit easier. Our preference is to brew for 30-60 seconds per infusion all the way through. This still yields plenty of flavour, while the tea just refuses to quit. Fortunately, this tea is also quite resistant to over-brewing, so it fares well brewing grandpa style as well.

Very hard to open those dragon balls.
I’m surprised this tea is at this price range. Very clean baimudan plucking, strong and lasting flavor, nice sexy fragrance, a very delicate and umami flavor, there’s no way you can make this taste bad even if you wanted to (not a challenge, maybe you could).
Once you can handle how to open the dragon balls properly, this tea offers an excellent experience. I recommend this to beginners who want to taste baimudan white tea, and for white tea lovers who want a high-quality daily tea. Felt relaxed, vibing and wakes up your soul.

A more complex tea than “My Fair Lady”. Pleasant taste of celery and sweet potato cream. Long session
//Smell: Flowery cream, spring air, pot-pourri, vegetal, fruit biscuit
//Texture: Hot tingling on the tip of the tongue, medium to thick texture, cold coating of the teeth
//Taste: Pastry avec cream inside, mineral, celery cream, sweet, old pot-pourri
//Body sensation: Energy heart-rate, need to move, surrounding sounds seams louder, shaky hands

This tea has got soft fragrance and good body, which is a plus at this price range. It does take time for the ball to open up. However, you could enjoy a very long session with this one.
