Shengtai means natural and from a pesticide-free tea garden; at the same time, the term usually means that the leaves come from a planted tea garden, but not from old tea trees or wild tea trees. Our Bingdao Shengtai White is a white tea from organic tea garden in Bingdao Village in Bangma Da Xue Shan (Mountain), Lincang City, Yunnan Province, China.

Bingdao Pu Erh tea (especially the Gushu tea / tea from ancient tea trees) enjoys a great reputation in China and is one of the most exclusive teas sought by people in and outside of China. This white tea is made from large bushes that were planted 40 years ago by villagers in a garden where no chemicals are used.

That Aroma this white tea is fruity like the skin of apricots and peaches with a hint of mint.

the taste of the tea is reminiscent of fresh sugar cane, peach, honey with a very subtle bitterness.

What surprises me most about this tea are the endless infusions it offers. Tea usually has the strongest second or third infusion, but this Bingdao White only begins its essence with the fifth infusion and then you can enjoy its essence up to 10 infusions or more. There just seems to be no end to its sweetness.
