An outstanding white tea from Fujian province with sweet green taste without any bitterness or astringency. The texture is silky smooth with white floral fragrance of roses, ylang ylang, and magnolia. The lingering aftertaste is refreshing with hints of citrus and cucumber. Bai Mu Dan & White Tea Grades Bai Mu Dan literally means ‘White Peony’ and the raw tea leaves used for this tea, belongs to the second highest white tea grade, right after silver needle (highest grade). Our White Peony tea consists of a blend of fine downy buds and small tea leaves, which together offer a perfectly balanced flavour and aroma profile. The quality grades below Bai Mu Dan are Gong Mei and Shou Mei, made from larger and sometimes broken tea leaves. That said, tea leaf grade doesn’t always guarantee in a better tea. In fact, Gong Mei and Shou Mei can be excellent teas if well-processed, and tend to have a richer, more fruity and herbaceous aroma. In contrast, Silver Needle and Bai Mu Dan tend to have a fresher and more floral aroma profile.
