Anji Baicha is a Chinese green tea from Anji in Zhejiang province. Despite its name, which means ”white tea from Anji”, it is classified as green tea because the leaves are heat-treated to stop oxidisation. The tea is made from young, light-coloured leaves of a particular cultivar with a low chlorophyll content, which gives it its characteristic pale colour. The flavour is mild, sweet and fresh, often with hints of umami and notes of spring primroses.
Origin: Anji, Zhejiang, China. Harvest: spring 2025.
