White Pu-erh Budset Tea

White Pu-erh Budset Tea: An aged white budset tea

A rare, mild and sublimely smooth aged white tea from the home of pu-erh, Lincang in the south-west of Yunnan Province close the border with Myanmar, at an altitude of over 4,700 feet. This organic white pu-erh is a budset tea containing pure bud which was harvested in the spring of 2021. After withering it was pan-fired, unlike conventional white teas, and dried in the sun. Honeyish, mellow and slightly malty this will appeal to lovers of pu-erh teas and those new to these aged teas. Use two grams in a previously warmed teapot and infuse for five minutes. Increase the durations of up to four subsequent infusions.

Tea from Grey's Teas

Our teas are loose leaf and we specialise in large leaf grades. All are made using traditional orthodox methods. Our teas are from named tea gardens or defined areas of origin.

Sourcing our tea

This tea has been chosen for its distinctive, balanced flavour, aroma and appearance. Our tea is carefully sourced from long-established shippers. We can therefore guarantee the quality and origin of each tea and that it conforms to UK food and drink health regulations and our own demanding grading requirements.

The benefits of loose leaf tea

This White Pu-erh Budset Tea enables the full flavour characteristics of the tea to infuse. This tea is chosen for its high grade which imparts the flavour and aroma characteristics for which this tea is best known. A little extra time is necessary when infusing large leaf grades but you will be rewarded with a superior, more balanced cup. You will be well rewarded for your patience!

Packing options

There are generally several packing options to choose from. These are 60 grams, 125 grams and 250 grams, the default being 125 grams in a packet. Our tough resealable packets contain a moisture barrier to ensure freshness is maintained and are specifically designed for tea. Alternatively, you can select a tin caddy for your tea. These square, silver coloured caddies have hinged lids. Again, 60 gram, 125 gram and 250 gram options are generally available as options which can be selected from the drop-down list. Packets and caddies have full-colour labels.
