White Sun Dried

The warmth of the sun, pure mountain air, and minimal intervention.

Before you is a hand-picked high-mountain white tea, naturally dried beneath the sun. This method allows the leaves to preserve their authentic character while gradually revealing a layered aroma of flowers, ripe fruit, and mountain herbs.

Aroma: warm, clean, and gently sweet. From the very first moments, you can sense wildflowers, dried apricot, honey, and sun-warmed herbs. Delicate woody and fruity notes appear later, adding depth and tranquillity to the aroma.

Taste: soft, rounded, and naturally sweet. It begins with the delicacy of honey and white flowers, followed gradually by subtle notes of ripe pear, apricot, and dried fruit. There is no sharp bitterness or excessive acidity — the tea unfolds gently and leaves a long, warm aftertaste.

Effect: calm and balanced. This tea does not rush you or create a sudden wave of stimulation. It gradually envelops you, quiets the mind, and brings your attention back to the present moment. It is ideal for a slow morning, a peaceful afternoon, or a quiet evening alone.

Who will enjoy it: those who appreciate tea that is light yet full of character. Sun-dried white tea is an excellent choice both for experienced white tea drinkers and for those who find the sharpness of green tea too intense. It has depth while remaining soft, clean, and easy to drink.

Sun-drying is one of the most natural methods of producing white tea. After harvesting, the leaves are spread in a thin layer and slowly dried by the gentle sunlight and mountain air.

The leaves are neither roasted nor exposed to high temperatures, and they undergo no intensive processing. They gradually lose moisture, while natural processes within the leaf give the flavour a more mature, sweet, and multifaceted character.

The natural warmth of the sun. During slow drying, the tea retains its floral delicacy while developing deeper notes of honey, fruit, and dried herbs. This is why its flavour is warmer and rounder than that of tea dried quickly in the shade or in an enclosed space.

Minimal intervention. White tea is not rolled and does not undergo complex technological processing. The shape of the leaf, the delicate down on its surface, and its natural aromatic compounds are preserved as fully as possible.

The tea is grown in the high-mountain gardens of Zedubani, where cool nights, sunny days, and pure mountain air encourage the leaves to develop slowly.

At high altitude, the tea bush grows more slowly. The leaf is in no hurry; it gradually accumulates aromatic compounds, amino acids, and polyphenols. As a result, the tea develops not only a delicate aroma but also a distinct structure and a long-lasting flavour.

Temperature fluctuations are especially important in a high-mountain environment: during the day, the sun warms the leaves, while at night, the cool air slows their development. This contrast creates the tea’s clean, deep, and multilayered character.

The tea leaves are picked by hand. The pickers select only tender, healthy, and properly developed shoots. Hand-picking allows us to preserve the integrity of the leaves and use only the finest raw material for processing.

After harvesting, the leaves are carefully spread out and naturally dried in the sun. The process is continuously monitored: the leaves are gently moved from time to time to ensure even drying and preserve their clean aroma.

The result is a natural, vibrant, and distinctive white tea, in whose flavour you can sense the sun, the mountain air, and the true character of freshly picked tea leaves.

Use 4–5 grams of tea per 250 ml of water. The recommended water temperature is 80–85°C. Steep the first infusion for 2–3 minutes.

The tea can be infused several times. With each subsequent infusion, the flavour changes: light floral notes gradually develop into richer tones of honey, fruit, and warm herbs.
