This is a tea to play with for sure. The dry leaf looks like a crushed mix of all the different white teas. Different hues of green, a silver needle thrown in here and there. It looks a bit like Shou Mei and it smells creamy like it too only it’s wilder and has more colors to the mix.
I brewed this Western style checking at each minute and stopped steeping after 3 minutes at 165F.
The wet leaves look like crushed up leaves from an Autumn leaf pile and smell like potato peels.
Liquor is golden champagne color and smells like honey and spices.
The flavor is sweet, cream, honey, a very light light cinnamon and nutmeg.
Overall, a fun potpourri type of tea with lots of different colors, flavors, and scents going on because it seems to have lots of different styles white tea leaves all mixed together.
I brewed this one at a lower temp but next time I will try a few degrees hotter to see how this one changes.
Flavors: Cream, Honey, Nutmeg

I love this review. I find Bai Mu Dan tea to be underrated. Some say it’s boring and too subtle, but just like you, I think it’s full of flavours and nuances, a beautiful tea.
Yes, I thought this one didn’t seem like straight White Peony,,,it was more mixed to me. I love White Tea :)
