Name: "Anji Baicha"
Translation: "White Tea from Anji"
Chinese: 安吉白茶, pinyin: ānjí báichá
Origin: Anji County (Chinese: 安吉县, pinyin: ānjí xiàn), Huzhou City (Chinese: 湖州, pinyin: húzhōu), Zhejiang Province (Chinese: 浙江省, pinyin: zhèjiāng shěng).
It was probably this green tea that was highly praised by the Song Dynasty Emperor Huizong in his "Treatise on Tea" (1107), describing it as "green tea the color of white jade." This metaphor is explained by the fact that at winter temperatures (-10 ˚C) the tea bush produces little chlorophyll, and the harvest is carried out in early spring for 30 days before the warming, when the leaves begin to turn green.
Rediscovered and cultivated from the mother bush in 1981 in Anji County. Nowadays it is under protection.
Fresh, light and unusually tasty. Especially rich in theanine, which has a positive effect on the brain, including stress reduction and increased cognitive function.
