Spring 2020
Jun Chiyabari Tea Garden. Certified Organic
A beautifully crafted and unique white tea from Nepal. Abundant tips and little oxidation give notes of honeydew melon, peach, crysanthemum flowers, and lemongrass, resulting in a light but full and smooth cup. This is not your usual white tea, however. You’ll notice a touch of green in the cup, brought about by a shaded drying method (traditional white teas are dried in the sun).
Making white tea is a newer technique in Nepal, but here we have a chance to see what Jun has to offer in this unique style.
This 2020 Harvest is the best we’ve had yet! Limited stock, as this tea is only made in the Spring in small batches!

This is a great young white tea, I would place it in between bai mu dan and gong mei based on the ratio of bud vs leaves. It has a sweet brown sugar aroma and a great match to the vendor description for flavor.
I found that it likes boiling water, and as the leaves are small, it doesn’t take a long time to get a good steep, the slight astringency is perfect. And I have to say, I’ve had other Jun Chiyabari teas, there is something special they all have in common, you will be able to tell.
180ml gaiwan, 1 1/2 tablespoon of leaves, boiling water, one quick rinse, 20 sec 1st steep, then 30 sec steep, one minute steep, keep increasing the time.
