Anji Bai Cha Green Tea (Anji White Tea)

Anji Bai Cha (安吉白茶), or Anji White Tea, is one of the most unique varieties of Chinese green tea, which, although called "white", actually belongs to the category of green teas. It is produced in Anji County, Zhejiang Province, from a rare variety of tea bush with pale spring leaves. The tea is famous for its high content of amino acids, especially theanine, which gives it an exceptionally smooth and sweet taste.

The taste of Anji Bai Cha is delicate, refreshing, with a slight floral note, notes of fresh greenery, legumes and a soft sweetness in the aftertaste. The aroma is clean, spring-like, with a hint of nuts and wildflowers. The infusion is transparent yellow-green, light, soft.

The history of Anji Bai Cha tea:

This tea has been known since the Song Dynasty, but gained popularity only in the 20th century after a rare clone of a tea bush with pale leaves was discovered. Its peculiarity lies in a genetic mutation that makes the leaves pale green, almost white, which is why the tea was called "white" even though it belongs to the green teas. Today, Anji Bai Cha is valued for its tenderness, delicate aroma and beneficial effects on the body.
