Yuqian Anji Baicha is a pre-rain (Yuqian) harvested Anji White Tea, picked between Qingming (April 4-5) and Guyu (April 19-21). Despite its name, it is a green tea, known for its rich amino acids, delicate sweetness, and umami flavor.
Process:
1️⃣ Plucking – Tender buds and first leaves are picked early in spring when the tea plant’s amino acid content is at its peak.
2️⃣ Withering – Leaves are spread out to soften and enhance natural floral notes.
3️⃣ Fixation (Kill-Green, 杀青) – Quickly pan-fired at high temperatures to preserve its signature pale green color and freshness.
4️⃣ Rolling (揉捻) – Leaves are gently rolled into needle-like shapes, enhancing aroma and mouthfeel.
5️⃣ Drying (干燥) – Slowly dried at low temperatures to lock in its light, sweet, and umami-rich flavor.
This results in a smooth, jade-colored liquor with a refreshing taste, creamy texture, and lingering sweetness.
