South West. Depending on climatic conditions, the color range of the pure buds varies between creamy white and moss green. The production is quite purist: the buds are dried in the sun after picking.
Halfway between white tea and Pu erh, because their long relative storage time, which is called “aging”, achieves new qualities of maturity. These buds are exceptional, of beauty, softness, color and smell resulting from a meticulous craftsmanship. A rare and surprising product.

Beautiful aromas and spicy flavors (Cardamom, Fennel seed, Anise) in the first infusion, then will come fruity, lemony and floral flavors in the second infusion. The successive infusions will offer multiple fragrant flavors, in which fruit, flowers and spices will alternate. A naturally very sweet, thirst-quenching and delicious tea, with an extraordinary length in the mouth on notes of ripe white grapes.
Withstands multiple infusions of increasingly long and more and more succulent.

Woah!! Reading all the comments, I'm really not surprised by the success of these white buds. They are simply exceptional. They should be included in the "Vintages and Exceptions" category, they have their place there.

I can't wait for them!!! These wild buds are simply extraordinary. Not only are they beautiful, rare, refined and delicious. A pure delicacy that I taste alone, without anything on the side, neither cakes, nor chocolate, nothing, just these wonders. Nadja let me know as soon as they arrive please. A big thank-you !

Wow!!! Hello Nadja, we tasted this wonderful tea on the November 14 workshop, and apart from all the other teas which were divine, we literally fell in love with this pearl. We place an order with enthusiasm, hoping that we will be able to reproduce at home, what you have taught us with so much passion. Thank you!

Your 2014 vintage is just sublime. I had already subscribed to the 2011 vintage, but I have nothing to regret, this one is just as sumptuous. Thank you for your little pearls.

Nadja, The beauty of these buds is incredible. The fruity and lemony flavors accompanying this "wild" side. It's very fine and at the same time a bit rustic, it's delicate and powerful at the same time. I like!
