Songdehao Summer White Tea Lineup: From 5 to 128 Yuan

Songdehao Summer White Tea Lineup: From 5 to 128 Yuan

June - time for white tea.

Not just a pleasantry. White tea has the simplest processing - only withering and drying, no stir-frying or rolling. This means it retains the most amino acids and soluble sugars, with naturally sweet taste. In summer, hot brewing is sweet, cold brewing is even sweeter, and however you brew it, there's no bitterness or astringency.

Songdehao currently offers 7 white tea products, from 5 yuan tasting options to 128 yuan collectible aged white tea cakes. Today I'll explain them all clearly so you can choose based on your budget and occasion.

Entry Experience | Ancient Tree White Tea Dragon Pearls

Price: 5 yuan/pearl (8g/pearl)

The most convenient way to drink tea. One pearl per brew, toss it in a cup or water bottle, hot or cold water - both work. Taking a few pearls when going out in summer is better than any bottled drink.

Upgrade Experience | White Needle Silver Tip Dragon Pearls
