Thé blanc Lapansi Antlers

The velvet-soft stems are unlike anything I've brewed before—silky smooth and surprisingly delicate. This rare Malawi white tea is a conversation starter on its own, and the 1920s plantation heritage adds a lovely story to every cup.

The backstory of this 1920s Malawi plantation really hooked me before I even brewed it, and the soft, fuzzy stems live up to the nickname. It’s such a delicate, mellow cup—perfect for an afternoon when I want something light but not boring.

The velvety texture of these "antler" stems is unlike any tea I've tried, and knowing they trace back to a 1920s Malawian plantation makes each pot feel special. Steeps gently and leaves a soft, almost silky sweetness that lingers nicely.
