Bai Mudan or White Peony as it is referred to in English, is one of China’s classic white teas. Its history can be traced back to the early twentieth century, the year 1922, when it was first created in Jian Yang county, Fujian Province, through the processes of withering and drying. In selecting White Peony one should identify a leaf composition of tender buds and two leaves displaying an abundance of fine silver hairs and a meaty, fresh, delicate appearance. This tea’s pale blonde infusion reveals sweet, almond like tones with no signs of astringency or bitterness. White Peony is low in caffeine and 100% organic.
