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 utilizes the biomass as “the best fertilizer 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 premium tea. Bai Ge emphasizes the importance of letting the land rest, so he limits his yield to one to two harvests per year.
This Oriental Beauty loose leaf tea 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 aging, the layers gradually melt into each other, leading to more pronounced undertones while still holding much potential in a prolonged storing-process.
