As you take your first sip, you'll notice a captivating floral aroma, followed by a smooth, sweet taste with subtle notes of spring blossoms and fresh-cut grass. The tea leaves unfurl beautifully, revealing a pale jade hue that adds to its elegance and charm. The pale jade color is where its name 'Bai Cha' comes from, which means 'White Tea'.
