Anji White Tea

This rare green tea from Zhejiang's albino bushes contains amino acids at levels 30% higher than typical green teas, contributing to its signature almost-caramel-like taste and lack of astringency. At $15 per ounce, it's pricier than the average green tea but prized for its velvety texture and pale liquor. For a category benchmark, it's smoother than the typical Anhui green and exhibits a sweetness that rivals honey-infused whites.
