White buds and a golden infusion
This special tea plant produces delicate white, unopened leaf buds and 2 leaves that are recognizable for this beautiful quality.
White tea from China's Fujian province. Also known as Pai Mu Tan, or White Peony, is a sweet, mild tea made from unopened tea leaves (buds) and the two newest leaves under the bud.
The freshly harvested leaves are dried in the sun. The natural oxidation that takes place gives Bai Mu Dan beautiful mild flavors. After this, it is only steamed and dried briefly. The fragrance is warm, floral and rich like fruit blossoms.
The infusion is soft gold, light and gives a soft mouthfeel. If you are just beginning to explore white tea, or even just tea in general, our White Peony tea will be a wonderful introduction.
The difference with 121 Bai Mu Dan is that this has more leaf buds (buds) in it
