About This Tea
Bai Long Xu (White Dragon's Whiskers) is an exquisite large-leaf white tea from Fujian Province, China. This rare and delicate tea is crafted from tender buds and young leaves, minimally processed to preserve the natural essence of the Camellia sinensis plant. Hand-picked during the early spring harvest, each leaf is carefully withered and air-dried, resulting in a tea that embodies purity, elegance, and the artistry of traditional Chinese tea craftsmanship.
Sourced from sustainable, high-altitude tea gardens where morning mist and mineral-rich soil create ideal growing conditions, Bai Long Xu represents the pinnacle of white tea refinement—a true treasure for discerning tea enthusiasts.
