It was time to overcome our chauvinistic tendencies and offer more variety on farmerleaf. Do you think the terroir can shine through white tea? Will this tea taste different from Jingmai? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a classic \"farmer white tea\", with no fancy processing. Good quality material was harvested and laid on wide bamboo baskets. During early Spring, the hottest time in the year, the fresh leaves will dry within a day and keep half of their greenness.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince these white tea leaves don't receive  any kind of shaking or rolling during their processing, they tend to oxidize inconsistently. This is what makes all the charm and  complexity of white tea, not to mention the leaves will keep oxidizing over the years. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1318\/5761\/files\/DSCF0691.jpg?v=1784704029\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farmerleaf","offers":[{"title":"357g cake","offer_id":48119415668923,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"20g sample","offer_id":48119415701691,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1318\/5761\/files\/1_092096a4-9b40-44dc-951f-57c110c2ad0a.jpg?v=1784647379"},{"product_id":"spring-2026-simao-white","title":"Spring 2026 Simao White","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYunnan classic big leaf varietal, Bai Mu Dan style processing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh altitude garden located in Ning'er county, North of Pu'er City\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLively white with oolong undertones, light and refreshing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tea feels very playful on the tongue, its low oxidation level makes allowance for plenty of tingling and minty vibes. It is a special kind of white, a hybrid between Yunnan and Fujian style. The tea was laid indoors with a half-open ceiling, which means as the sun rotates during the day, the leaves are exposed to direct sunlight only half the time, a clever way to achieve a half sun-dried\/half-shade dried tea. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to our friend Yu Jian Hui, who sourced this tea, it is the classic \"old varietal\", which means seed-propagated Assamica. Yet, the tea feels more lively and dynamic than most white teas we've tried. The aroma is especially enticing and I would totally believe this could come from a clonal cultivar. Nice to see again what a good processing technique can do to our good old Yunnan Assamica.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1318\/5761\/files\/15_93fe8201-3153-41f5-84d7-b51519eabadd.jpg?v=1784703554\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farmerleaf","offers":[{"title":"357g cake","offer_id":48119418323131,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20g sample","offer_id":48119418355899,"sku":null,"price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1318\/5761\/files\/1_fc05931b-421e-4584-aee6-652cc4cbc344.jpg?v=1784649693"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1318\/5761\/collections\/white_tea.jpg?v=1643011740","url":"https:\/\/farmerleaf.live\/collections\/yunnan-white-tea.oembed","provider":"Farmerleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
