This unique white tea was made at the start of the first frost in the winter of 2020 and left to age naturally for 3 years in an open environment at Pan Yin Mountain. The leaves were foraged for the first time from ancient trees that had been left to rest for 2.5 years, making it a highly durable, potent and rare white tea.
Naturally aged, winter post-frost white tea using wild "first flush" leaves is considered one of the most sought-after teas throughout history. Its potency during the transformation process facilitates extraordinary medicinal properties and unique flavours. It is also regarded as a valuable collectable for years to come.
Unique Characteristics
Aromas - Lotus leaf. Honey. Spring meadows.
Taste - Sweet, fruity & earthy.
Feel - Grounding, restorative and mood-lifting.
Extremely durable with at least 10 re-brews. Recommend simmering the next day.

Gentle resinous flavours, which warm and restore. Very robust too - huge leaves and a satisfying, grounding effect.
Love it, wonderful tea 🫖
All I can say is Winter Master's white is the first white tea I've ever been nervous of running out of. It's the first white tea I've ever found myself craving for more than its anti-inflammatory effects and late-night-drinkability.
While still delicate (it is white tea), it requires no effort for its flavours and sweetness to be felt. It is sweet in the friendliest way, and fruity like walking by an orchard during spring.
Shocked at how well-preserved the leaves have been. Thank you Master Lin!
