ARENSBAK White

INTRODUCTION

White has a velvety mouthfeel with floral notes and fruity aromas. It is made on a base of kombucha and quince, melon, lemon thyme and marigold flowers are infused in the second fermentation. It is layered with oak to enhance the natural tannins and structure but it also adds a subtle touch of vanilla.

What makes ARENSBAK White so unique

The Fuijan province’s unique terroir

Wuniuzao Longjing from Fujian stands out because it is made from the early-sprouting Wuniuzao cultivar, which produces especially tender, naturally sweet spring leaves. The region’s misty, mountainous microclimate adds a softer, more floral aroma than the classic nutty Longjing from Zhejiang. It is hand–pan-fired using local techniques that create a light, silky texture and gentle chestnut note. The result is a clear, pale-jade cup with an elegant balance of orchid fragrance and refreshing umami that makes this tea truly unique. Alongside our Green Tea we also use Organic Oolong tea in ARENSBAK White.

Fermentation

The ARENSBAK Effervescent undergoes double fermentation over a period of 40 days, ensuring a rich and refined character.

Elegant touch of oak

Oak brings elegance and tannins to the fresh flavour. We use oak chips in the fermentation for around 4-5 days.
