Hong Yu White Tea – Luxury Large-Leaf Red Jade Taiwanese White TeaOur large-leaf Hong Yu White Tea is a Taiwanese craft tea made from the Hong Yu cultivar, whose name translates as "Red Jade" or "Ruby." Best known for producing Taiwan's famous Ruby black tea, this cultivar is crafted here into a rare and luxurious white tea. It's processed with minimal handling — from hand-picking, which allows the large, delicate leaves to remain intact, to drying. The leaves are handled as little as possible to ensure the freshest taste. White tea has the least oxidation of all teas, and this fine tea is 0% oxidized, allowing for a delicate, fresh taste.

A little steeping tipLet just-boiled water cool for a minute or two — water that’s too hot can turn delicate leaves bitter. Good leaves give a lovely second cup, too.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
