Authentic Top Grade Anji Bai Cha Green Tea

A Rare and Calming Green Tea

Anji Bai Cha, which translates to “white tea” in Chinese, is in fact a prized green tea, renowned for its delicate flavor and soothing qualities. This tea is from Da Xi village in Anji County, Zhejiang Province — the heart of authentic Anji Bai Cha —this tea represents the purest essence of the region. While imitations are produced in other parts of Zhejiang province and elsewhere in China, only tea from Anji County truly captures the superior taste and character that this variety is celebrated for. We take pride in sourcing exclusively from the core producing areas to ensure exceptional quality and authenticity in every cup.

The tea leaves are a pale, vibrant green with a freshly-plucked appearance that they maintain even after drying. Unlike other green teas that are harvested throughout the spring, Anji Bai Cha has an extremely limited picking window —typically before April 15th , and only harvest in the spring, making it one of the most seasonal and sought-after green teas in China.

Rich in amino acids—more than any other green tea—Anji Bai Cha is known for its calming and stress-relieving properties. Its flavor is floral, fresh, and smooth, with a sweet lingering aftertaste. On the palate, it reveals bright vegetal and mineral, and a subtle umami undertone, reminiscent of a comforting vegetable broth—a harmonious blend of freshness and savories. 

Anji Bai Cha is easy to steep and highly forgiving; it resists bitterness even when slightly over-steeped, making it ideal for both seasoned tea drinkers and newcomers alike. It also shines as a cold brew, delivering a refreshing and mellow cup.

A must-try for any green tea enthusiast.
