Dendrobium White Tea is a nourishing blend of aged white tea and premium Dendrobium officinale. This unoxidized tea has a smooth, mellow character with low caffeine and a gentle sweetness. Rich in theanine, tea polyphenols, and natural plant compounds, it is especially suitable for people who enjoy soothing, hydrating, and wellness-focused teas. Ideal for autumn and winter, or for those who prefer soft and comforting tea with depth and complexity.

The aroma is warm and elegant, with notes of dried fruit, subtle florals, honey, and red jujube. The taste is smooth, sweet, full-bodied, and layered. Aged white tea brings mellow softness and lingering sweetness, while dendrobium adds a silky texture and refreshing finish. The liquor feels rich yet gentle, with a balanced and calming mouthfeel that lingers pleasantly after each sip.

This tea is crafted from sun-dried aged white tea and carefully blended with premium dendrobium. The white tea has been naturally aged since 2018, allowing the flavor to become smoother, deeper, and more rounded over time. Traditional slow aging and careful hand processing preserve both the character of the tea and the delicate herbal qualities of dendrobium.

Easy Mug Brew

Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:100. Put the leaves directly into a mug, add boiling water, and steep for 5 to 7 minutes. When about one-third of the tea remains, refill with boiling water to continue brewing.

Traditional Gongfu Style

Pre-warm the gaiwan or Yixing teapot. Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:30. Brew with water at 100°C (212°F). For the first two infusions, steep for about 15 seconds each. Gradually increase the steeping time with each additional infusion. Pour the tea liquor completely out after each brew.

Thermal Steeping

Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:200. Pour boiling water into a ceramic-lined insulated flask or teapot. Close the lid and let it steep for 1 to 2 hours before drinking. When about one-third of the tea remains, refill with boiling water to continue brewing and enjoying.
