Acquaintance
I am Georgian Teanium’s white tea, born from the perfect location that allows me to be rich in purity & flavor. My clean, natural composition is crafted to transport you to the heart of our tea estate.
Character
Quiet. Pale. Primordial. Like the first snow — barely announces itself, yet changes everything it touches. Two leaves and a bud, hand-picked, keep the character soft rather than sharp. The first infusion is barely there; by the third, a quiet sweetness settles in. Long in the finish, short on aroma.
