Ancient Tree White Tea - Gu Shu Bai Hao (2023 Harvest)

Gu Shu Bai Hao is a treasure among white teas. Crafted from the tender buds and leaves of ancient, wild tea trees (gushu) aged over 250 years, this 2023 harvest represents the pinnacle of purity and subtlety. Grown in a pristine, natural environment without intensive human intervention, the trees impart a unique softness, depth, and inherent harmony to the tea.
The liquor is transparent, delicate, and silky-smooth. The flavor profile is ethereal yet distinct: notes of wildflower honey, dried blossoms (like chamomile or osmanthus), light herbs, and soft fruity hints unfold gracefully. The finish is exceptionally calm, long, and peaceful, devoid of any astringency or heaviness.
The effect of this ancient white tea is its most remarkable quality. It provides a gentle, balancing relaxation that soothes the body while maintaining a clear, tranquil awareness. It offers a delicate, sustained energy perfect for extended, mindful tea sessions, evening repose, or any moment dedicated to quiet introspection and soft vitality.
Brewing Recommendation for Serenity:

• Water Temperature: 90–95 °C (194–203 °F)
• Tea Amount: 4-5 grams per 150-200 ml
• Steeping Time: First infusion: 25-35 seconds. This tea can yield multiple, increasingly sweet infusions; increase time gradually. Its subtlety is best appreciated in a gaiwan or glass teapot.
