Most tea lovers are familiar with black, green, and herbal teas, but true connoisseurs know the beauty of delicate white tea as well. Though it's derived from the same general type of plant that brings us its earthier counterparts, white tea is the rarest and least processed of the popular tea varieties. It's enjoyed around the world for its smooth, elegant flavor and versatility.
Tea Forté's White Ginger Pear is a beautifully balanced white tea, featuring a refined combination of pear and ginger and additional botanical ingredients that flourish its flavor profile. Subtle but complex, it's a light, fresh take on an age-old tradition.
Beautiful White Tea
The experience of White Ginger Pear begins with its soft yellow hue and signature aroma, inviting you to take the first sip. The white tea originates from the Da Bai tea bush which is harvested in the spring. The addition of lemon balm, an herb that is a member of the mint family, contributes a clean, fresh citrus profile and is believed to have strong soothing effects and encourage relaxation. The ginger brings a spicy touch that's good for digestion, and notes of pear and licorice root bring it together. Lightly caffeinated, it both calms and enlightens, delivering a slight lift to the morning, afternoon, or evening in which it's consumed.
A Cup of Pure Enjoyment
An award winner at the 2012 North American Tea Championships, this elegant organic beverage is transportive and meditative, soothing and uplifting. Its combination of fruit, spice, flora, and a slightly citric undercurrent give it a spa-like quality, reminiscent of spending a tranquil afternoon at a world-class wellness center to relax and rejuvenate. Once the last sip is complete, just a hint of ginger lingers, reminding you to return for your next cup as soon as you wish.
