ARENSBAK White

Monkey Picked Tie Guan Yin Oolong — Aromatic Core. The Monkey Picked Tie Guan Yin oolong used in ARENSBAK White is harvested at 900 metres above sea level in Fujian province, China. The leaf is slowly dried and oxidised, which ARENSBAK associates with floral, citrusy and sweet notes.^[1]

Tree-Picked Leaf — Regional Character. The tea leaves in ARENSBAK White are handpicked from trees rather than bushes. ARENSBAK credits the deeper root systems of those trees with imparting distinct regional characteristics and a rich flavour profile.^[2]

ARENSBAK states that tannins, body and acidity are developed through the choice of tea, fermentation technique, ingredients and preserving methods, and that this yields a long, round aftertaste and a balanced dryness.

Shelf Life. ARENSBAK products made from December 2023 onward carry a shelf life of three years from the production date; bottles produced before December 2023 carry a one-year shelf life from the production date.
