Long, straight silver buds covered in white down. The needles are uniform and intact. Strong jasmine aroma dominates, layered over the mild white base scent.

Steeping produces very pale yellow liquor. Jasmine sweetness is immediate and pronounced. The white base provides gentle, fresh backing without competing. Texture is light and smooth. Jasmine flavor remains pure and fresh throughout, not becoming bitter or soapy. Multiple infusions maintain jasmine presence while allowing more white character to emerge. The balance shifts gradually toward the white base in later steeps.

White base from Guangxi Province scented with Hengxian jasmine using traditional methods. Ideal for those seeking jasmine with white foundation rather than green, prioritizing smoothness and lower caffeine.
