GREEN TEA: Anji Bai Cha, China - 2026

Anji Bai Cha
Green tea, China

Flavour: fruity & vegetal ~ light-bodied
While this is a green tea, Anji Bai Cha translates to Anji White Tea. It is named after pale, almost white, unharvested leaves. These are light in colour due to the low chlorophyll content that is unique to the specific tea plant cultivar, Bai Ye.

The needle-like leaves infuse into a light, soft and captivating green tea with notes of rockmelon, chestnut and raw baby zucchini. 

April 2026 harvest from Anji County, Zhejiang Prefecture, China. 

Preparation: Steep for 3 minutes at 80°. Three infusions.

Infusions: specialty tea leaves can all be steeped at least twice, and often more, so each 3 gram serve (150 mls - a standard teacup size), will give you two cups ('infusions') if you steep the leaves twice. On the back of your pouch under 'Steep', you can find the number of infusions for your tea.

If you infuse your leaves at least twice, your pouch will give you the following cups of tea (or more if you infuse your leaves more times):

50 grams - 33 cups
100 grams - 66 cups
200 grams - 133 cups
