This lot emanates an ancient rustic medicinal fragrance and delivers a mellow and smooth taste after having been aged under dry conditions. The tea soup has a clear, bright chestnut red color with a lustrous appearance. White tea is renowned for its stability and enhanced health benefits over time. After aging for more than 15 years, the brewed tea has transitioned from a cooling nature to a warming one. Despite being an important export to Southeast Asia since the Qing Dynasty, it has a low yield due to the limited production field. Therefore, this particular lot is a rare and irreplaceable testament to the past.
