KUURA 2025 ‘Electroflowercandy' White Tea

Electro's back :’) The good juice. Quince, honeysuckle, cara cara, bright things that make you smile.

When we sold the last of these it was like the sun went behind a cloud and we’ve been waiting ever since for it to re-emerge. (No shade…. pun intended… to Ghost 2.0, which is drinking beautifully right now, but offers a more understated, reserved, less-fruity-more-tense texture.) Can’t wait to taste this but confident to recommend it sight unseen.

KUURA’S NOTES: 

The return of a simple classic, 'Electroflowercandy' is a Yunnan white tea or baicha (白茶 bái chá) that's made of large-leaf spring tea material from a grove of lush forest, picked and dried directly in the sun.

This pressing of 'Electroflowercandy’ has a lot to offer. When brewed, this tea has a sweet floral fragrance and honeysuckle flavour with plenty of thick mouthfeel. This is a baicha that'll steep for nearly forever, and it can be brewed to your preference. Brewed on the lighter side, you can expect a soft and sugary sweetness like frolicking in a sunlit meadow full of spring flowers. Brewed a touch stronger, and you'll draw out richer flavours and juicier sweetness. 

Compared to our other Yunnan baichas such as 2022 'Ghost' White Tea, this white tea has a brighter floral fragrance and lighter candy-like sweetness as a result of less oxidation during its sun-drying process. If you're a fan of white tea and seemingly endless afternoons, grab a cake, press play, sit back and repeat.
