More About Tree Spirit

Tree Spirit is a delicate white tea from Myanmar, produced by Mogok Tea on the Five Trees Estate. The leaves are handpicked with care, following the traditional method of selecting one bud and two leaves. After the harvest, they are naturally withered and dried in the sun.

The infusion has a clear yellow-green color and a gentle, floral aroma with notes of chrysanthemum and linden blossom. The taste is light and refined, with soft floral tones, a hint of spice, and a subtle touch of sunflower seed.

Named after the protective spirit ‘Yoke Ka Zoe,’ Tree Spirit reflects the close connection between nature, the land, and the people who nurture this white tea with attention and respect.

Brewing Tips

Quantity of tea leaves: 3 gram
Temperature of water: 80°
Infusion time: 3 minutes
Maximum number of infusions: 3 times

Begin by heating water to 80°C, the ideal temperature to unlock the multifaceted and nuanced flavours of Tree Spirit. For a Western-style brew, place about 3 grams of Tree Spirit leaves into your teapot or infuser (about 250 ml), ensuring there is ample space for the leaves to expand and release their essence. Pour the heated water over the leaves, fully covering them, and let them steep for 3 minutes for the initial infusion.

Enjoy up to three infusions, maintaining the water temperature at 80°C and slightly extending the brewing time for the following infusions to fully appreciate the tea’s complex profile.

If you are brewing Tree Spirit using the Eastern gong fu cha method, use around 5 g of leaf for your gaiwan or small teapot (around 120 ml).

No matter the brewing technique, Tree Spirit will consistently deliver a beautiful infusion with a smooth and refreshing taste.

Tasting Profile

Tree Spirit white tea features silver, fluffy trichome-covered buds and dark forest green leaves. The dry leaves emit a sweet floral aroma reminiscent of chrysanthemum, with vegetal and herbal undertones and a hint of sunflower seeds.

Upon infusion, the tea reveals a light, clear yellowish-green liquor that exudes a bright, zesty fragrance with notes of sweet pea. The taste is velvety on the palate, offering a balanced combination of chrysanthemum and lime blossom with a touch of mineral tones.

Each sip of Tree Spirit transports you to the lush landscapes of Myanmar, where nature and the art of tea making converge.
