Finest Anji White

Finest Anji White – Rare Zhejiang Green Tea Known as Liquid Silk

Finest Anji White is grown in the misty mountains of Anji County in Zhejiang, a province on China's eastern coast. This fine tea cultivar has a very short harvest season, making the tea especially unique and rare, and it is seldom sold or enjoyed outside of China – a genuine point of difference for specialty tea retailers.

The long, slender, delicate leaves are green with pale yellow tones and carry a highly fragrant aroma. Despite its name, Anji White is in fact a green tea, based on how it is made; the "white" refers to its delicate, tippy appearance and the pale leaves of this rare cultivar. The dry leaf brews a light green liquor with a highly fragrant aroma and a delicious, umami-rich flavor. The mouthfeel is silky smooth, which is why the tea is known as "liquid silk." That smooth texture and savory umami make it a favorite among green tea connoisseurs, and its rarity gives each cup a special feel. The slender leaves look striking in clear glassware and yield several infusions. It is best served plain alongside light dishes, seafood or steamed vegetables, and it makes a memorable gift for green tea enthusiasts.
