In China, there is a popular saying about the qualities of white tea: The first year it is a tea, the third year it is a jewel, come the seventh year it attains medicinal qualities. Aged white tea has become one of the most highly sought-after teas in Asia.

Taste characteristics:
The twisted silvery leaves, covered with down, offer a sweet date and rose flavor. Delicate but full-bodied, this older white tea is more complex and more comforting than the newly made white tea. If you are searching for a soft and delicious tea, this is the right one for you.

A cut above the rest

By Andy
What an amazing white tea! All that aging really developed the flavors into something special. There's a certain jamminess that reminds me of the dried persimmons I loved to snack on so much as a kid. Very thick and honey-like in mouthfeel, quite a gorgeous treat. Mahalo nui loa

Great Quality Tea

By Carl McCargo
To Bana Tea;
I have received my tea (Tribute White) and it exceeded my expectation. It is a tea that I will enjoy for a long time and may become my only white tea. The taste, aroma, mouth feel, and after taste are better than expected. The delivery was prompt and reasonable in cost. Thank you for the great service and quality tea that you merchandise. I will maintain this memory of the quality in your tea for future reference and recommendations to friends and other tea drinkers.
Our Response:

We are humbled by your high praise. This white tea was made in 2011 to commemorate the World Expo in Shanghai, China. The tea has developed over the past decade into one that is complex and flavorful. We are so happy to know you appreciate the quality of aged white tea. Thank you for your great review - it speaks a thousand words.
