Two years of careful storage have rounded its edges and layered its character, while preserving the brightness and vivacity that make this grade exceptional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result: a cup that is at once fresh and considered.

After two years, the raw edges mellow, the floral notes become cleaner and more defined, and the body gains a subtle roundness — without losing the brightness and vivacity that makes this grade special. It's a gentle evolution, not a transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I reuse the leaves?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes. Quality white tea opens beautifully across multiple infusions. Using Gongfu brewing, expect 5–7 rounds, with the flavor profile shifting subtly with each steep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this tea caffeinated?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes. White tea contains caffeine, typically at moderate levels relative to black or oolong teas. Brewing temperature and steep time affect extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How should I store it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture, and strong odors.
