The most tender white downy tea buds are harvested only two days out of each year using the centuries old techniques of Imperial Gathering. This exceptional tea was reserved for the Chinese imperial family until just a few decades ago when it became available to the general public. Famous for its subtle taste, pale infusion, and extrordinary purity

The high antioxidant level helps to prevent cancer by connecting with free radicals at the cellular level. This tea can be mixed with your other favorites, which gives them a healthy boost in antioxidants without disturbing the taste.
