Organic White Tea with Ginger & Lemon

Picture a pale, almost golden cup releasing a fresh scent of citrus zest with a gentle, warming bite of root ginger. This organic ginger lemon white tea brings lively character without any harshness.

The aromatic profile of ginger lemon white tea

On the nose, freshness takes the lead: lemon peel and lemongrass open the tasting with a bright, almost sparkling note. The aroma is luminous, clean and lightly herbaceous.

At the heart, Pai Mu Tan brings its silky roundness and gentle vegetal softness, while Chun Mee adds a more forthright note, faintly woody. The two teas speak to each other without getting in each other's way.

In the finish, ginger, present at 9%, leaves a quiet, invigorating warmth. Its heat stays measured, never sharp, simply there like a spiced caress that lingers.

A natural, organic creation where every ingredient holds its own. For something more floral, you might also enjoy our kunming white tea with lavender and rosemary.

How to brew ginger lemon white tea

Preparation makes all the difference. White tea calls for a gentle touch: too hot, and it turns bitter; too long, and the freshness fades. Here are the parameters we recommend.

• Water: low in minerals, fresh, heated to 70-80 °C (never boiling)
• Quantity: 12 to 15 grams per litre, roughly 2 teaspoons for a 500 ml teapot
• Steeping time: 1 to 2 minutes, depending on how strong you like it
• Equipment: a glass or porcelain teapot with a wide-mesh filter, to let the leaves and ginger pieces open fully

For more on technique, take a look at our guide on how to brew white tea. You can also try an iced version: double the quantity, cold-steep for 6 hours in the fridge and serve over ice with a slice of fresh lemon.

Storage

Packed in our workshop, this blend keeps best in its airtight tin, away from light, moisture and strong odours. Best enjoyed within 18 months to preserve the brightness of the citrus peel and the freshness of the ginger.
