Volcanic Buds White Tea 2017 (30g)

Created by BREW and Kangaita, the latest vintage of white tea from Central Kenya's volcanic soils.

Kangaita estate sits 6,000ft up in the foothills of Mt Kenya. Although the soil, elevation and climate are ideal for high quality teas; but the market demands that they produce regular black teas. We visited Kangaita and collaborated on a new craft white tea to show the potential of the estate.

The fresh juicy buds are separated from the leaves in the factory. Each fresh bud is laid out and goes through the specific process of withering and drying.

Many ‘white’ teas in the world are quick dried at high temperatures, which technically makes them green teas. Authentic white teas, like this one, are slowly cool dried.
