Description
The production of this tea follows the traditional steps of white tea making, with the distinctive feature of an anaerobic withering process (without oxygen) that promotes the natural formation of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). It is crafted from Camellia sinensis assamica.
A surprising tea with a profile of fragrances that mixes notes of dried rose and a waxed, mildly spiced touch for a taste experience like no other!
