Organic White Peony

The traditional name Bai Mu Dan is a popular style of white tea made from young tea leaves and silvery unopened leaf buds. Our White Peony comes from Zhenghe town in Fujian Province, the original birthplace of white tea centuries ago. Distinguished by being plucked in “budsets” of one or two leaves and a bud, this tea has a sophisticated mouthfeel with a slightly stronger body than Silver Needle. A gentle and slow air-dry withering process results in a brilliant amber infusion with a honey-like viscosity, mellow-sweet notes of fresh hay, accents of nectar, and mild flavor that pairs well with food.
