White Peony White Tea (Bai Mu Dan)
Our Price: $14.99

Bai Mu Dan's name is derived from its shape of the leaves. Its one bud & two leaves is left in its original shape without without the kneading and shaping usually involved in making a green tea.. As other white teas, Bai Mu Dan undergoes a slow sun drying process which can take as long as forty hours to complete.

Unlike Silver Needle, the raw leaves of Bai Mu Dan are heaped into a short pile for this drying process. The sun withered leaves are roasted dry at a low temperature, sometimes with charcoal though more often with electrical heating elements. This good quality tea yields many apricot coloured infusions with a rich flavour noticeably fruitier than Silver Needle.

Our White Peony white tea does not have the grassy taste of green tea and it is a good source of antioxidants. Due to the natural process including slow ambient drying, this tea is generally soothing and is gentle on weak stomach.

Based on a 50gm pack, one could have around 50 cups (based on 3g per serving, infused 3 times)
