Lucky Lantern is a delicate white tea with a twist. Starting with the familiar sweetness, it opens up with an orange-ginger note through consecutive steeps.
Born on one of the oldest tea growing areas of Taiwan, it is made in the traditional way by a tea master in his 80s. Each leaf is plucked by hand without using any blades. We are happy to support farmers still making tea in this strenuous, delicate style.
