Story
Golden Lily White Tea is a rare expression of Fujian’s tea tradition, where the delicacy of white tea meets the aromatic complexity of beauty teas.
Its character begins in the mountain forests of Fujian, where small green leafhoppers gently bite the tea leaves. This natural interaction triggers the plant’s defense response, producing the floral and honeyed aromatics that make this tea so distinctive. After careful hand-picking, the leaves undergo sun-withering and slow oxidation, with minimal intervention and no rolling or pan-firing, allowing time and nature to shape the final expression.
In the Cup
A pale golden infusion with elegant aromas of wild honey, orchids and ripe stone fruit.
The texture is silky and soft, revealing layers of floral sweetness, gentle fruit notes and a lingering finish that carries the quiet atmosphere of the mountain forest.
