Guisachan Tì Bann

Scottish white tea, Tì Bann

Tì Bann, fair tea in Gaelic, comes to us after a number of experiments. There are so many different techniques to explore in making white tea.
A fine pick of a leaf and a bud, this is our first large (ish) batch of white tea.
Delighted that we’ve created a process that works for our leaves.

What does it taste like?

Sweet juicy apples seem to be locked in the dry leaf.
As the water unravels this tea, the sweet apple scent intensifies and is joined by a hint of peach.

This delicate tea offers wonderful refreshing sweet peach taste.
Softening and edging into creamy memories as it cools.

Straight from Guisachan Estate, this white ish tea is fresh as it was crafted in June 2026.
Teas mellow with age, especially in the first few months, so it will become smoother.

Always interesting to discover how the taste profile of teas change, a journey worth experiencing.

Our airtight foil lined packs are a great container to store the young tea in as it locks in the aromatics within the leaves.
Also keeps out any strong smells which can leave these leaves tasting of something stored close by.
