Zao Xiang Bai (棗香白, Zǎo Xiāng Bái, “Date Fragrance White”) – This tea comes from Du Yun in central Guizhou, just southeast of the capital, Guiyang, and is a version of our Unfolding Path Cave Aged White. It was first produced using a different patch of tea plants than our normal Unfolding Path in 2021 and the result had a rich, dark sweetnes and a fragrance reminiscent of Hong Zao, the Chinese jujube, also known as the Chinese red date. The resulting tea was different enough from our normal Unfolding Path that it warranted being a tea in its own right. Though the local variety that this tea is from does not have a proper name, it is a high elevation small-leaf varietal that grows at about 1200m. The tea is first processed with a sun-withering until partially dry, it is then very gently massaged. Once this is complete, the tea is stored in ceramic jars and then cured in a cave near the fields for 1-2 days. The soup has a beautiful tawny color, the flavor has notes of date syrup which is augmented by its eponymous jujube aroma.

Sip down
This was one of those teas that stumped me because it was different to other white teas I’ve
tried. It had a peppery/spice rack aroma to the leaf, and peppery note to the flavor. It lasted 7 infusions with each session. Quite pleasant and unique!
