Why we love it:
- It has an deeper, fuller flavour than most white teas, due to its age.
- It's flavour lasts for many infusions - great for serving at gatherings.
- You can keep it for many years, as it gets better with age.
- The tea bar shape is super compact, great for travelling.
This 60g bar has 12 squares of tea and you can brew each square 4-5 times, depending on the size of your brewing vessel.

3. Pour out the liquid after 10-15 secs to "wake up" the tea.
