Organic Nepalese white tea

About this tea

Panda White comes from one of the highest elevation tea farms in the world. Teas this rich and complex are few and far between, so prepare yourself. The liquor steeps up light with an orange tinge. A strong citrus aroma leads to a raisin-sweet first impression. Then the flavor evolves on your palate, settling into a creamy, custardy fullness. Notice the vanilla accents and high muscatel notes, adding depth and range to the profile. Panda White makes an ideal gong fu tea; the large leaves continue to deliver flavor after multiple steeps. We fell in love with this tea when we visited Nepal—and the love affair continues!

We directly source Panda White through the Red Panda Network. Red pandas, like many endangered animals, have been driven near to extinction due to poaching and deforestation. We’re proud to carry this tea, and to support the Network’s important mission of restoring red panda habitat, while also building a sustainable economy on the ground.

Purchase of this single origin tea directly supports the Red Panda Network in Nepal. Think of these contributions as you get to know this exemplary tea.

    Slight persimmonish fruitiness with refreshing mild astringency in this lovely tea that brews to a light rose gold like a red panda’ s face

    What a truly unique tea. I just received this in the May 2024 Tea Explorers Monthly Subscription box today and have already drank half of the 25-g bag. To me, it sits somewhere between a first- or second-flush Darjeeling and an aged raw puerh.

    The notes in the description are spot on, but there is also a strong kuwei (pleasant bitterness) which transitions quickly to a sweet huigan (returning sweetness) in the mouth and throat; something I've only experienced with high-quality puerh.

    I'm curious: Assuming this is a spring-harvest, is this batch from 2023 or 2024? If it's from 2023, then I would LOVE to try the fresh 2024 leaves if you do get some in!

    Thanks for finding and sourcing such wonderful teas :)
