Early picking, tender picking, clean picking. Forty hours under sun and wind. A year sealed before pressing, then sealed again. The craft is in what is not done.早采、嫩采、净采。日晒风吹四十小时。封仓一年方才压饼，再封。工艺在于不做。

Browse the collection →入藏 →We work with a small number of houses, hotels and private collectors who want white tea with a provenance they can show their guests: the mountain, the maker, the year, the storehouse. Allocations are annual and documented lot by lot. Rare vintages are offered first to partners who visit.
