2026 Pre Qing Ming Anji Bai Cha | Pre Order

Huangdu Village, Xilong Xiang — Anji County
Pre-Order | Ships Mid of April

We are excited for this season's harvest of the umami lover's favourite green tea.

Timeline

2025 Reference Picking Date: 20-28th March
2026 Expected Window: Late March
Arrival in Amsterdam: Early April
Shipping: Early-Mid April

Sourced for the third consecutive year from the core origin production area in Anji County. Yang will be in China during harvest and will personally carry the tea back to Amsterdam.

Two Close Harvests

This year we selected two Mingqian batches from the same location, picked just three days apart.

Though close in date, the difference is noticeable:

• Earlier pick — lighter, more floral lift
• Slightly later pick — deeper umami, fuller texture

Same terroir. Subtle seasonal shift. Expect: Umami, Umami, Umami. And also:

• Spring blossoms
• Fresh-cut grass
• Soft floral sweetness
• Smooth, elegant finish

Compared to Long Jing, Anji Baicha has a quieter aromatic profile but stronger sustained freshness and umami.

This is a pre-order. Orders ship once the tea arrives. Mingqian Anji Baicha yields are limited. Once sold out, this batch cannot be restocked.

Style:

Anji County, located in Zhejiang Province, China, is renowned for its pristine environment, rich biodiversity, and exceptional tea cultivation. The region's mild climate, abundant rainfall, and fertile soil create the perfect conditions for the growth of the rare Anji Baicha cultivar, which produces leaves with a high amino acid content, giving the tea its distinct sweetness and soothing quality.

Our Pre-Qing-Ming Anji Baicha is characterized by its delicate, light, and refreshing flavor profile. As you take your first sip, you'll notice a captivating floral aroma, followed by a smooth, sweet taste with subtle notes of spring blossoms and fresh-cut grass. The tea leaves unfurl beautifully, revealing a pale jade hue that adds to its elegance and charm. The pale jade color is where its name 'Bai Cha' comes from, which means 'White Tea'. A common misconception coming from even most Chinese people, that Anji Bai Cha is White Tea, but it's actually one of the most exquite of Green tea!
