T-18 Red Jade White Tea

Simply put...

Don't be deceived by the dark leaf appearance - this tea delivers a light clear cup.  The infused leaf has a distinct camphor like tone while the cup is thick & sweet leaving a mellow tone & lingering coolness in the mouth.  Be patient - it takes a little time to get to know this tea!
