Year of the Horse 2026 Spring Yiwu White Tea

Price range: $3.50 through $89.00

Description

Using the same left-to-grow material as our Year of the Horse Yiwu raw puer, this white tea carries over much of what makes the sheng so intriguing this year – thicker body, a distinctive sweetness that settles on the roof of the mouth, and a pleasant fragrance. A slight mushroom note weaves in alongside the florals, adding an earthy dimension that sets this pressing apart from previous years.

Similar to its puer counterpart, this tea demonstrates the difference a good environment and well-tended (or rather untended) land can make in terms of the final product. Pick up the raw puer and black tea versions to compare the same material across different processing styles.

    180f gaiwan brew. Tasted the rinse and got strong huigan. The broth brews sweet, honey melon with a touch of something like raisins, the scent is earthy and sweet. In the gaiwan, the leaves have a sweet berry or stone fruit scent. For the price, this is excellent.

    i tend to be more picky with white teas, but this tea was pretty good. i found it to have a certain creamy, fresh-pressed soymilk character that i associate more with fuding whites but at the price point of an yunnan white. it also preserves the potency of white teas from yunnan. overall, would recommend!
