Moving through Bai Ge’s natural tea plantation resembles a walk in a tropical forest. The philosophy he lives by is to let nature do its thing - which he also applies to his plants. He rarely clears the land of weeds and even utilises the biomass as “the best fertiliser you can get”. The space in between the thick and tall tea trees is inhabited by other tree species, mosses and ferns, forming a dense root-network deep in the soil. This provides abundant access to nutrition which is the premise for rich tasting tea. Bai Ge emphasises the importance of letting the land rest, so he limits his yield to one to two harvests per year.
This Oriental Beauty is loaded with sun-dried ripe fruit aroma. It radiates a calm, warm and mellow vibe without lack of clarity and brightness. The effects on body and mind are soothing and settling. After several years of ageing, the layers gradually melt into each other, leading to more pronounced undertones while still holding much potential in a prolonged storing-process.
