Florist 2024 | white

FLORISTis a pressed white tea cake made from sun-dried leaf grown in Banzhang Village, deep in Bulangshan, Yunnan. This is the same broadleaf material used in strong, bitter pu’er—reworked here as white tea. No rolling, no pan-firing—just withering and sun-drying. The result is thick, fragrant, and unusually structured for the category. We blend in whole Pingyin rose. An heirloom cultivar from Shandong, Pingyin roses are prized for their heavy fragrance and layered sweetness—not perfumy, not thin. The pairing with Banzhang is deliberate: the rose lifts; the tea holds. Early steeps bring florals to the front. By the third, the base tea takes over. The finish is long and honeyed. Pressed in Spring 2024. Limited release.
