Lakyrsiew Winter White 2011 £87.50 per 25g

November 2011

6kg Annual Production

LaKyrsiew’s most desirable production is the Winter White 2011, produced in
the final weeks of the tea year. The slow growth, favourable weather and
very strict leaf selection gives a tiny crop of enchanting, complex white
tea.


This tea deserves time. The vibrant, downy leaves give notes of juniper,
anise and liquorice root. Secondary notes are unripe mango and citrus. When
infused carefully the tea gives is a zing on the palate and an uplifting
sensation. The finish is long. Infuse 4g per 250ml at 70C for 3 minutes.

This tea is being shipped from origin. To place a pre order please send an email to orders@hrhiggins.co.uk by clicking on the link below and we will reserve some for you.

The leaves are carefully packed into a jar to protect them from moisture.
