Camellia Twigs brings to you the epitome of tea craftsmanship with its White Tea leaves, a stunning 50-gram offering presented in a biodegradable composite can. This exquisite product represents the pinnacle of white tea, sourced from the renowned Darjeeling region. With a blend of rarified elegance and intricate taste profiles, CT's White Tea, known as Arya Pearl, is a connoisseur’s delight. This tea has been curated keeping in mind both sustainability and sophistication, with a flavor profile that's almost similar to the finest fruity white wine.
The Arya Pearl White Tea is grown in the lofty peaks of the Darjeeling region, which is globally famed for its tea gardens. Cultivated at an elevation where the cool mist and rich biodiversity contribute to the tea's nuanced flavor, this tea is a product of meticulous attention to detail. The cultivation practices are sustainable, leveraging organic farming techniques that ensure the preservation of the environment while yielding the highest quality tea leaves.
The Arya Pearl is a rare first flush white tea, handcrafted at the peak of the harvest season. The plucking standard followed is the ‘two leaf and a bud’ technique, which ensures that only the youngest and most tender parts of the tea plant are harvested. This method of hand-picking is a tradition that has been passed down through generations of tea artisans, ensuring the preservation of intricate flavors that machine plucking cannot provide.
After harvesting, the leaves undergo a gentle and meticulous process to preserve their natural essence and delicate flavor. The processing involves withering, rolling, and drying—all conducted under the watchful eyes of expert tea makers. Unlike other black teas, white tea undergoes minimal oxidation, retaining its lighter color and more delicate flavors. Each step in the process is designed to keep the tea as close to its natural state as possible, preserving the fresh taste and the unique aromatic profile.
The Arya Pearl White Tea offers an unparalleled tasting experience. The liquor it yields is bright and light, with a complexity that unfolds in layers:
Aromas of Summer Berries and Hazelnuts: From the moment you open the can, you'll be greeted with fragrant notes of sweet summer berries and lightly toasted hazelnuts. These initial aromas set the stage for an indulgent experience.
Delicate, Sweet Flavors: Upon first sip, you'll notice a soft, sweet flavor reminiscent of a fine fruity white wine. This tea is smooth and mellow, making each session a moment of pure pleasure.
Hints of Vanilla and Nutmeg: As the flavors evolve in your mouth, delicate hints of vanilla and nutmeg emerge, adding a warm, spicy undertone that perfectly complements the primary sweetness.
Nutty Undertones: Completing the flavor profile are subtle undertones of nuts that create a rounded, richer mouthfeel, making every sip a delightful journey.
To fully appreciate the delicate flavors of Arya Pearl White Tea, it's essential to follow the right brewing steps:
Water Temperature: Use water heated to around 80°C (176°F). Water too hot can scald the delicate leaves, while cooler water might not fully bring out the nuanced flavors.
Tea to Water Ratio: Use 2 grams of tea per 200 ml of water. If you do not have a scale, this roughly translates to one teaspoon per cup.
Brewing Time: Steep for 3-5 minutes. Longer brewing times can extract more robust flavors but be careful to avoid over-steeping, which can lead to bitterness.
Multiple Infusions: Arya Pearl White Tea can be steeped multiple times. Each infusion brings out a different facet of its complex flavor profile. It's often said that the second and third steeps are the best.
The 50 grams of white tea leaves are carefully housed in a biodegradable composite can. This packaging not only ensures the freshness and quality of the tea but also aligns with eco-friendly practices. The design of the can is both elegant and functional, ensuring that your tea remains fresh, aromatic, and protected from light and air, which can deteriorate the quality over time.
White tea is known for its high antioxidant content. These antioxidants, primarily polyphenols such as catechins, can help combat free radicals in the body. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells, leading to chronic diseases and aging.
Regular consumption of white tea has been associated with improved brain health. The caffeine and L-theanine content found in white tea can provide a gentle energy boost and improve alertness and concentration without causing the jitteriness associated with coffee.
The antioxidants in white tea may also contribute to cardiovascular health by reducing bad cholesterol levels, improving artery function
