Perch's Thehandel, light and fruity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhite Temple by Perch's Thehandel is a blend of white Mao Feng and Silver Needle from China, with candied pineapple, mango, papaya, and orange peel. The infusion remains almost colorless in the cup, yet tastes fully of ripe fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhite Temple\u003c\/strong\u003e is the best-known house blend from the Copenhagen tea house Perch's Thehandel—often imitated, rarely matched. The box contains 25 individually wrapped pyramid bags in which strawberry pieces, sour cherries, and currants are visible among the light leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePineapple, orange, and white tea\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpon brewing, the pineapple comes through first, sweet and tropical, followed by the orange peel with its subtle bitter edge. In the cup, it is a very pale gold, barely more than a shimmer, which makes the full fruit flavor almost surprising at first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite tea on its own tastes delicate, hay-like, and slightly sweet, and it is precisely this restraint that gives the fruit room to breathe here. The candied pieces provide sweetness, the sour cherry and currant add a tangy counterpoint, and the jasmine tea lays a floral trace underneath that holds the entire infusion together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blend does not become bitter even if you let it steep a minute too long, as there are few tannins in the white leaf. This makes it the type of variety you can serve to guests who otherwise don't care much for tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFruit is candied by slowly soaking it in sugar syrup until the syrup has replaced the water in the fruit pulp. The piece then remains firm and dry enough to sit next to the leaf without making it damp, and the sweetness only emerges again in hot water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHot in the pot, cold in the pitcher\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse eighty-degree water and a steeping time of six to seven minutes; boiling water burns the delicate leaf and makes the infusion flat. You don't need to add any sweetener, as the candied fruits provide enough, and milk would only mask the light fruitiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold-brewed, the blend shows its best side: two bags per liter, left in the refrigerator overnight, and served the next day in a glass with plenty of ice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blend is too light for breakfast, but just right for the afternoon, paired with a piece of fruit cake or a handful of nuts. It also has its place after a meal, when an espresso would be too stimulating and a glass of water too plain. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/perchs-green-fragrant-jade-teebeutel\"\u003eGreen Fragrant Jade\u003c\/a\u003e is more floral and slender, while the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/perchs-raspberry-oolong-teebeutel\"\u003eRaspberry Oolong\u003c\/a\u003e is fruity on a darker base. Both can be found on the shelf with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/tee\"\u003eloose-leaf tea and tea bags\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMao Feng and Silver Needle, two white teas\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite tea is the least processed tea of all: the leaf is picked, air-withered, and dried—nothing more happens. Silver Needle consists exclusively of the unopened buds, which still have a silvery fuzz, and is therefore the most expensive part of this blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMao Feng brings the first delicate leaves along with the bud, giving the base a little more body. Perch's Thehandel uses both together because the bud provides the fragrance and the leaf provides the length.
