2025 Yunnan White Tea Mini Bricks are made from leaves of Jinggu Da Ye tea trees, a sub-variety of Yunnan large-leaf tea that is the most suitable for white tea processing—often referred to as “Jinggu Da Bai Cha” by tea enthusiasts. Hand-picked with one bud and two or three leaves, these tea bricks offer a classic Yunnan white tea profile: pale yellow, clear liquor with a delicate downy fragrance and subtle wild floral notes. Difference from Other White Teas Unlike Yue Guang Bai (Moonlight White), which is made exclusively from tender buds for a naturally sweet, smooth taste, the 2025 Yunnan White Tea Mini Bricks are made from a leaf grade comparable to Fuding Gongmei, yet they reveal the deeper, more robust character of Yunnan’s large-leaf tea variety. Same Trees, Different Processing These bricks come from the same tea trees as raw Pu-erh tea, but the processing differs: White Tea: withering and drying Raw Pu-erh: pan-firing, rolling, and sun-drying When brewed, the tea begins with a gentle bitterness that gradually develops into a long-lasting sweet finish and refreshing aftertaste. Its high water-extractable content (over 45%) ensures strong flavor and longevity across multiple infusions. Packaging & Convenience Designed for convenience, 2025 Yunnan White Tea Mini Bricks come in naturally dried lotus-leaf packages, each containing six chocolate-like bricks. Brick Size & Portions Each brick weighs 50 g Divided into nine small squares (~5.6 g each) Easy to brew just the right amount for a single infusion Brewing Tip Rinse the tea first by pouring boiling water over it and letting it steep for 15–20 seconds, until the edges soften and loosen slightly. Discard the rinse water before starting the first brew to awaken the leaves without losing flavor. Liquor & Tasting Experience The brewed liquor is clear, smooth, and leaves a long-lasting sweet finish. Fresh Tea & Aging Potential As a 2025 vintage tea (white teas are generally considered “new” within three years), 2025 Yunnan White Tea Mini Bricks offer fresh, vibrant flavors for immediate enjoyment, while developing richer aromas and complexity as they age.
